Networks have been described as one of the most significant features of the modern world. So central and pervasive are they that Manuel Castells (2000), for instance, has dubbed contemporary society the “network society.” More than that, a network society is one in which the media play a preeminent role because of their capacity to distribute and disperse information, and their facility in traversing, and even reconfiguring, space and time zones. Media networks can be regarded, then, as becoming foundational to the way modern societies function
