[Ethnocomm] Interview with Chaim Noy about his latest book

[Martin Kaminer]

Agreed! I really enjoyed the book, happy to see it receive wider attention.
I had an interesting correspondence with the author regarding parallels to
social media, particularly to phenomena observed on Facebook following
catastrophes, tragedies, etc.
