"""The Mobile Media Debate brilliantly challenges mobile communication scholars to engage with the multiple—and often contradictory—aspects of how we interact with mobile media at the individual, small group, social, and spatial level. The authors in von Pape and Karnowski’s collection provide a state-of-the-art overview of the field by highlighting its intrinsic tensions, along with future directions."" – Adriana de Souza e Silva, Professor, NC State University, USA ""The Mobile Media Debate presents a varied and up-to-date selection of debates on the social implications of mobile media that are at the heart of scholarly and public discussion. The thought-provoking chapters invite the reader to reflect upon the role of mobile media in contemporary society, asking questions such as whether mobile media empower or disempower, are social or antisocial, and have political power."" – Mariek Vanden Abeele, Associate Professor, Ghent University, Belgium"
