This book contributes to debates concerning online reporting of
elections and the challenges facing journalism in the context of
democratic change. The speed of technological adaptation by
journalists and their audiences means online news is gradually
becoming a normalised part of media landscapes across the world.
Journalists monitor social media for insight into the political
process and as an instant indication of "public sentiment", rather
than waiting for press releases and opinion polls. Citizens are
actively participating in online political reporting too, through
publishing eyewitness accounts, political commentary,
crowd-sourcing and fact-checking information (of political
manifestos and media reports alike). It is therefore growing
increasingly important to understand how political journalism is
evolving through new communicative forms and practices, in order to
critique its epistemological role and function in democratic
societies, and examine how these interventions influence daily
online political reporting across different national contexts. This
volume covers comparative, research-based studies across a range of
national contexts and electoral systems, including Australia, ten
African countries, the European Union, Greece, the Netherlands,
India, Iran, Sweden, the UK and the USA. This book was originally
published as a special issue of Journalism Practice.
