Information And Public Choice: From Media Markets To Policymaking $14.99 The ability of the media to affect outcomes in economic and political markets has been well documented. News reporting and advertising influence consumer behavior in goods and services markets by revealing (or selectively revealing) information about a product, acting as agenda setters to influence consumer demand, or enhancing competition in markets by alerting consumers to substitutes. In political markets, they can affect behavior by informing voters about a politician’s views or actions, enlightening citizens to outcomes of public policy, or taking a stance on political, social, or economic issues. For businesses, households, and most others, the media is the main source of information on public policy choices and current social and economic conditions. As a result, what news the media chooses to gather, analyze and disseminate and the slant they choose to put on what they report is of consequence. Information and Public Choice addresses the factors that affect the content and reach of news coverage as well as its impact on public policy. The book addresses both market constraints that affect media particularly news content and the impact that news reporting has on economic and political choices. The authors examine a range of issues, including bias or slant in media reporting, the impact of markets and nonmarket factors on news reporting, and the role of government regulation of the media sector in developing countries. The studies in this volume provide new evidence and a good summary of previous research on the power of the media. An invaluable guide for those concerned about the impact of media on economic and political outcomes, Information and Public Choice draws attention to an under-researched yet important area of economics.

Outsmarting Social Media: Profiting in the Age of Friendship Marketing $9.99 This book is about the brewing war between Google and Facebook. ¿It’s about the intersection of search and social media, and who will control that¿intersection. ¿Google knows everything you search for, but that is no longer enough. ¿They have become jealous of Facebook, who knows every personal detail about you; Google wishes they could have all of that social data themselves. ¿They would like to use that data – the opinions of our friends and connections – to retool the search results. ¿Facebook, on the other hand, is jealous of the power Google has over people’s purchasing decisions. ¿Because both Facebook and Google¿know our friends are where we get many of the recommendations that we¿value (What smartphone is the best? Was that movie worth seeing? Who makes the¿best running shoe?) they both want to exploit our online friendships. ¿But there is a big problem. ¿Both companies¿control their own piece of the puzzle – Facebook has our social circles and¿Google has our purchasing channels – and neither company is interested in¿sharing¿with the other. ¿Thus, social search nirvana won’t happen overnight.¿This¿book is a peek into the future of what search engines and social media channels will look like in the future, when the two have largely merged. ¿The people in our social networks will become driving forces — tastemakers,¿so to speak — in how advertisers market to us. If Facebook knows that one of¿your valued Facebook friends loves Klipsch speakers and then you search for home¿theater speakers on Google, you might see your friend’s recommendation for Klipsch¿speakers at or near the top of the search results. ¿If your friends post a lot of pictures on Facebook of concerts at The Greek Theatre, Facebook may begin advertising other Greek Theatre concerts to you using these pictures of your friends. ¿Tomorrow’s ads will be nothing like todays; they will reflect our friends’ likes and interests. ¿Digital marketers will find this book extremely valuable since they currently rely on¿social media sites and search engines to drive marketing. ¿With social information playing a dominant role in both outlets, the face of digital marketing is shifting. ¿On Google, the things your friends talk about will color the search results¿—¿and the ads around those results. ¿Two people searching for the same thing will see different¿results based on the opinions of people in their¿social circles. ¿On Facebook and Twitter, new status updates and ads will appear featuring our friends’ preferences – and this will influence our purchases. ¿The holy grail of marketing, as it were, will be knowing how to use your relationships to motivate other people to making purchases. ¿This book shows readers exactly how to do that. ¿Don’t be left behind. Get a leg up on your competition!
