Through the Grapevine
Socially Transmitted Information and Distorted Democracy
Book • 2024
Taylor N. Carlson's "Through the Grapevine" examines how information spreads through social media and its impact on political attitudes and behavior.

The study highlights the contrast between information from traditional media and socially transmitted information.
Ultimately, the book explores the implications of this distorted information flow for democratic processes.
