The only thing I can think of is Society of the Spectacle by Guy Debord and Marshall McLuhan's work on media.
Oh, and this work by Christian Fuchs.
Problem being:
I think Fuchs is a Marxist-Humanist and I'm not sure what to think of Marxist humanism.
But I could be wrong.
Maybe I should ignore that aspect of their work.
Thoughts?
Got any book recommendations at all?
I'm looking for:
Media studies
Cultural theory
Communications
Internet
Social media
Management and organization
Community-building
Trends
Technology
etc.
^ These are the topics I'm looking into.
And, hopefully, from a Marxist-Leninist or Marxist standpoint (or at least leftist).
Got anything? Maybe advice?
lol, yep. awesome. You can find all these on libgen. Btw, for media analysis there's also the Citations Needed Podcast. Their episodes they did on Bill Gates a while ago are quality and just the tip of the iceberg.

Oh, so they're doing a series on it right now.
Ah, no, they're older episodes, but looking at the material conditions behind news media coverage is the sort of thing they do.

Yeah, I like stuff that's "recent" but I think I may listen to these.
