iPolitics provides a current analysis of new media's effect on
politics. Politicians rely on Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube to
exercise political power. Citizens around the world also use these
tools to vent political frustrations, join political groups, and
organize revolutions. Political activists blog to promote
candidates, solicit and coordinate financial contributions, and
provide opportunities for volunteers. iPolitics describes the ways
in which new media innovations change how politicians and citizens
engage the political arena. Most importantly, the volume emphasizes
the implications of these changes for the promotion of democratic
ideals. Among other things, contributors to this volume analyze
whether the public's political knowledge has increased or decreased
in the new media era, the role television still plays in the
information universe, the effect bloggers have had on the debate
and outcome of healthcare reform, and the manner in which political
leaders should navigate the new media environment. While the
majority of contributors examine new media and politics in the
United States, the volume also provides a unique comparative
perspective on this relationship using cases from abroad.
