<p>In <b><i>THE RED</i></b><b><i> HOTEL: THE UNTOLD STORY OF STALIN'S DISINFORMATION WAR</i></b>, former <i>Daily Telegraph </i>Foreign Editor and Russian expert <b>Alan Philps</b> sets out the way Stalin created his own reality by constraining and muzzling the British and American reporters covering the Eastern front during the war and forcing them to reproduce Kremlin propaganda. War correspondents were both bullied and pampered in a gilded cage of the <b>Metropol Hotel</b>. They enjoyed lavish supplies of caviar and had their choice of young women to employ as translators and to share their beds.<br/><br/>While some of these translators turned journalists into robotic conveyors of Kremlin propaganda, others were brave secret dissenters who whispered to reporters the reality of Soviet life and were punished with sentences in the Gulag. Through the use of British archives and Russian sources, the story of the role of the women of the Metropol Hotel and the foreign reporters they worked with is told for the first time. With a riveting narrative very much in the same wheelhouse as Ben McIntyre's <b><i>Agent Sonya</i></b> this revelatory story will finally lift the lid on Stalin's operation to muzzle and control what the western allies' writers and foreign correspondents knew of his regime's policies to prosecute the war against Hitler's rampaging armies from June 1941 onwards.</p>

<p>Mediehistoria är idag ett snabbt växande fält som vidgats till att omfatta långt mycket mer än studier av medieteknologier eller institutioner som press, radio, film och TV. I denna antologi breddar författarna ramen och analyserar allt från vardagsnära trycksaker till transnationella politiska fenomen, med andra ord sådana motiv som länge uteslutits ur mediernas historiografi.</p><p>I åtta kapitel visar författarna på styrkorna med att använda ett brett mediebegrepp. Bokens första del behandlar mediesystem och mediehändelser, exemplifierade i fallstudier av spiritistiska seanser, Gallupundersökningar, kejsare Wilhelm II:s medierade persona och begravningen av den före detta statsministern Karl Staaff. Den andra delen fokuserar på mediematerialiteter och infrastrukturer såsom konstkopior, kontorspärmar, guideböcker och gestaltningen av medieteknologier i IKEA-kataloger.</p><p><i>Expanding media histories</i> riktar sig i lika hög grad till studenter som forskare genom att presentera ny empirisk forskning som tar avstamp i centrala mediehistoriska nyckelbegrepp.</p><p>Medverkande: Sune Bechmann Pedersen, Marie Cronqvist, Christine Davidsson Sandal, Henning Hansen, Ulrika Holgersson, Charlie Järpvall, Charlotta Krispinsson, Betto van Waarden, Eskil Vesterlund.</p>

<p><b>A generation defining expose</b><b> of toxic beauty culture in our digital age and how it is harming women<br/></b><br/>We are living in a new age of beauty. With advancements in cosmetic surgery, augmented reality face filters, photo editing apps, and exposure to more images than we were ever meant to see, we have the ability to craft ourselves in whichever way we please. We pinch, pull, squeeze, tweeze, smooth and slice ourselves beyond recognition. But is modern beauty culture truly empowering? Are we really in control?<br/><br/>In every era there is a beauty ideal. Yet, today the pressure to attain and retain the perfect body is compounded by our addiction to sharing every angle of ourselves online. In an age of influencers and social media, modern beauty culture is all-consuming and it is hurting the lives of women around the world.<br/><br/>From <i>Love Island</i> to lip filler, blackfishing to the beauty tax, Ellen Atlanta reconfigures our understanding of women's relationship with beauty culture to account for the digital age. Providing an eye-opening account of the realities young women face under a dominant industry, <i>Pixel Flesh</i> unmasks the absurdities of the dystopia we find ourselves living in. Both a rallying cry and a refusal to suffer in silence, this is a vital insight into what it feels like to exist as a woman in a digitally obsessed world.</p>

<p>Zoë Schiffer has written the definitive book on perhaps the weirdest business story of our time. A fast-paced and riveting account of a hilarious and tragic mess. Matt Levine, Bloomberg Opinion Money Stuff columnist</p><p>the bird is freed Elon Musk (@elonmusk) October 27, 2022</p><p>When Elon Musk took over Twitter, commentators were rooting for the visionary behind Tesla and SpaceX to succeed. Here was a tough leader who could grab back power from Twitters entitled workforce, motivate them to get extremely hardcore, and supercharge Twitters profit and potential. And it was all out of the goodness of his own heart, rooted in his fervent belief in the necessity of making Twitter friendlier to free speech. I didnt do it to make more money, Musk said. I did it to try and help humanity, whom I love.</p><p> Once Musk charged into the Twitter headquarters, the command-and-control playbook Musk honed at Tesla and SpaceX went off the rails immediately. Distilling hundreds of hours of interviews with more than sixty employees, thousands of pages of internal documents, Slack messages, presentations, as well as court filings and congressional testimony, Extremely Hardcore is the true story of how Musk reshaped the worlds online public square into his own personal megaphone. </p><p>Youll hear from employees who witnessed the destruction of their workplace in real-time, seeing years of progress to fight disinformation and hate speech wiped out within a matter of months. Theres the machine-learning savant who went all-in on Twitter 2.0 before getting betrayed by his new CEO, the father whose need for healthcare swept him into Musks inner circle, the trust and safety expert who became the subject of a harassment campaign his former boss incited, and the many other employees who tried to save the company from their new bosss worst instincts. This is the story of Twitter, but its also a chronicle of the post-pandemic labor movement, a war between executives and a workforce newly awakened to their rights and needs.</p><p>Riveting, character-driven, and filled with jaw-dropping revelations, Extremely Hardcore is the definitive, fly-on-the-wall story of how Elon Musk lit $44 billion on fire and burned down Twitter.

The Washington Post</p><p>Zoë Schiffer has the wonderfully gossipy and perfectly timed story on whats happening in the company formerly known as Twitter. As much as this book is of the moment, its also a story of the ages, one of hubris, hero worship, and ultimately, the destruction of a company that should have been a public good.<br/>Bethany McLean, coauthor of The Smartest Guys in the Room, All the Devils are Here, and The Big Fail</p><p>It used to be said that Twitter was like a clown car that drove into a goldmine and fell in. Zoë Schiffers incredibly written and astonishingly reported book about the Musk era of the worlds craziest company tells the story of a man who took the clown car, strapped a rocket to the back of it, and then slammed it into a wall at 100,000 miles an hour. You simply wont be able to put this book down.<br/>Nick Bilton, author of American Kingpin and Hatching Twitter</p><p>Twitter was an extraordinary idea that, thanks to incompetent management, never lived up to its promise.
