> Newspapers and TV could do a lot, they could shape national discourse, but they were not as ever-present as our social networks

I don't think that's true. You must have seen the memes comparing the photos of everyone in public transport, reading their phone in one, and reading newspapers in the other. Families used to gather around the radio and television in their homes every nightly for news.

Whatever the dominant form of media, it builds the frames in which the public live.
