Litigation is about winning. It's not like a game of horseshoes, where coming close is good enough. Placing second is not something that gets and keeps clients. Now flash forward to the social media era of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat—and the list could go on and on, with new sites springing up and gaining traction all the time. Social media—once the stomping grounds of a youthful, tech-savvy generation—is a phenomenon with an incredible impact in the legal arena. The oversharing that happens on social networking sites can make or break a case—and what's more, the online landscape is ever changing, ever morphing and evolving, nearly at the lightning speed of technology itself. It may sound like a brave new world out there (and it is), but the good news is that you can quickly get up to speed and have a desktop guide at your fingertips. And, once you become comfortable with social media, you're going to be pleasantly surprised by how much helpful evidence can be found on social networking sites. That's where Winning with Social Media comes in. In this new book by attorney Michelle Sherman, you'll discover how this modern form of evidence plays a key role in cases ranging from divorce and child custody to wrongful termination, from narcotics trafficking to invasion of privacy, from breach of contract to intellectual property, from DUI to professional malpractice. You'll learn how to: • conduct informal discovery for getting social media discovery from the opposition • execute personal service through social media when all else fails • lay a rock-solid foundation to get online posts admitted into evidence • overcome objections in discovery and at trial • authenticate "ownership" of social media accounts and the incriminating posts made to them • keep your clients from sinking their case through "loose lips" on social media • use and monitor social media posts— not just from the parties, but witnesses, jurors, and even the judge—from start to finish in your case What you won't come away with, Sherman advises, is any reassurance that you can ignore social media in your litigation matters. Lawyers who do or who dismiss its relevance do so at their clients' peril. In the twenty-first century, dealing with social media evidence is a crucial part of your discovery plan and trial preparation, and Winning with Social Media will help you meet that challenge.

Winner, 2020 Outstanding Book Award, given by the International Communication Association Honorable Mention, 2020 Nancy Baym Book Award, given by the Association of Internet Researchers How the transformation of social media platforms and user-experience have redefined the entertainment industry In a little over a decade, competing social media platforms, including YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat, have given rise to a new creative industry: social media entertainment. Operating at the intersection of the entertainment and interactivity, communication and content industries, social media entertainment creators have harnessed these platforms to generate new kinds of content separate from the century-long model of intellectual property control in the traditional entertainment industry. Social media entertainment has expanded rapidly and the traditional entertainment industry has been forced to cede significant power and influence to content creators, their fans, and subscribers. Digital platforms have created a natural market for embedded advertising, changing the worlds of marketing and communication in their wake. Combined, these factors have produced new, radically shifting demands on the entertainment industry, posing new challenges for screen regimes, media scholars, industry professionals, content creators, and audiences alike. Stuart Cunningham and David Craig chronicle the rise of social media entertainment and its impact on media consumption and production. A massive, industry-defining study with insight from over 100 industry insiders, Social Media Entertainment explores the latest transformations in the entertainment industry in this time of digital disruption.
