Nancy K. Baym′s Tune In, Log On is an ethnographic study of an
Internet soap opera fan group. Bridging the fields of
computer-mediated communication and audience studies, the book show
how verbal and nonverbal communicative practices create collaborative
interpretations and criticism, group humor, interpersonal
relationships, group norms, and individual identity. While much has
been written about problems and inequities women have encountered
online, Baym′s analysis of a female-dominated group in which female
communication styles prevail demonstrates that women can build
successful online communities while still welcoming male participants.
In addition, a longitudinal look at the development of the fan group
allows an examination of the endurance of the group′s social
structure in the face of the Internet′s tremendous growth. Lively
and engaging, Tune In, Log On provides an entertaining introduction to
issues of online and audience community.
