The revolution in digital communications has altered the
relationship between citizens and political elites, with important
implications for democracy. As new information ecosystems have
evolved, as unforeseen examples of their positive and negative
consequences have emerged, and as theorizing, data, and research
methods have expanded and improved, the central question has
shifted from if the digital information environment is good or bad
for democratic politics to how and in what contexts particular
attributes of this environment are having an influence. It is only
through the careful analysis of specific cases that we can begin to
build a more comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the role of
digital media in democratic theory and practice. The essays in
Digital Media and Democratic Futures focus on a variety of
information and communication technologies, politically relevant
actors, substantive issues, and digital political practices, doing
so from distinct theoretical perspectives and methodological
approaches. Individually, each of these case studies provides deep
insights into the complex and context-dependent relationship
between media and democracy. Collectively, they show that there is
no single outcome for democracy in the digital age, only a range of
possible futures. Contributors: Rena Bivens, Michael X. Delli
Carpini, Jennifer Earl, Thomas Elliott, Deen Freelon, Kelly Gates,
Philip N. Howard, Daniel Kreiss, Ting Luo, Helen Nissenbaum, Beth
Simone Noveck, Jennifer Pan, Lisa Poggiali, Daniela Stockmann.
