Exploring the Path of Mediatized Governance in a Global Risk Society: A Review of Exploring the Evolution of Risk Issues in Mobile Communication

Abstract

In today’s global risk society, mobile communication plays a central role in shaping public understanding of risks. Exploring the Evolution of Risk Issues in Mobile Communication focuses on three categories of global risks: health, technology, and environment. The book introduces the Platform Amplification/Attenuation of Risk Mechanism (PARM) to explain how user actions and platform algorithms interact to influence the visibility of risk issues. From the perspective of mediatized governance, this book broadens the scope of risk communication research and offers a practical framework for understanding the role of media as actor, object, and tool in risk governance.
