This volume contributes to the extant and prolific New Agendas in
Communication Series from one of the most salient perspectives
within the field of Communication: New Technologies and Civic
Engagement. The impact of the Internet and other technological
advances are constantly referred to at most junctures of today's
Communication research agendas. The area of Political Communication
is not immune to this trend. The effects of the Internet and
digital media on today's political landscape, with a particular
emphasis on enhancing individuals' civic duties and engagement
levels, are theme of concern at many of the most renowned journals
in Communication and Political Science disciplines. First, this
book pays attention to the overall impact of the Internet and
people's use of digital media and new technologies to analyze civic
life at large, reconceptualizing what citizenship is today.
Secondly, and more specifically, participants shed light over the
intersection of a number of current new agendas of research in
regards to some of the most rapidly growing technological advances
(i.e., new publics and citizenship), and the emergence of sprouting
structures of citizenship. The volume shows the implications that
new technological advances carry with respect the possibilities,
patterns and mechanisms for citizen communication, citizen
deliberation, public sphere and civic engagement.
