This book aims to further the research in the fields of social
media and political communication by moving beyond the hype and
avoiding the most eye-catching and spectacular cases. It looks at
stable democracies without current political turmoil, small
countries as well as large continents, and minor political parties
as well as major ones. Investigating emerging practices in the
United States, Europe, and Australia, both on national and local
levels, enables us to grasp contemporary tendencies across
different regions and countries. The book provides empirical
insights into the diverse uses of different social media for
political communication in different societies. Contributors look
at the ways in which novel arenas connect with other channels for
political communication, and how politicians as well as citizens in
general use social media services. Presenting state-of-the-art
methodological approaches, drawing on a combination of qualitative
and quantitative analyses, the book brings together an
interdisciplinary group of researchers in order to address emerging
practices of the mediation of politics, campaign communication, and
issues of citizenship and democracy as expressed on social media
platforms. This book was originally published as a special issue of
Information, Communication & Society.

"The Media Welfare State: Nordic Media in the Digital Age" is
the first theoretically driven book to comprehensively address the
central dynamics of the digitalization of the media industry in the
Nordic countries--Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, and
Iceland--and the ways media organizations there are transforming
themselves to address the new digital environment. The authors
address Nordic media industry structure and content from the
standpoint of scholarly perspectives on global, regional, and local
approaches to media development. Taking a comparative approach,
they provide an overview of media institutions and policy
throughout the region, focusing on the impact of Information and
Communication Technology/Internet, and digitalization on the Nordic
media sector. Illustrating the shifting media landscape in these
countries, the authors draw on a wide range of cases, including
developments in television, radio, the press, and the public
service media institution.
The notion of "the public sphere" has become increasingly central
to theories and studies of democracy, media, and culture over the
last few decades. It has also gained political importance in the
context of the European Union's efforts to strengthen democracy,
integration, and identity. The Idea of the Public Sphere offers a
wide-ranging, accessible, and easy-to-use introduction to one of
the most influential ideas in modern social and political thought,
tracing its development from the origins of modern democracy in the
Eighteenth Century to present day debates. This book brings key
texts by the leading contributors in the field together in a single
volume. It explores current topics such as the role of religion in
public affairs, the implications of the internet for organizing
public deliberation, and the transnationalisation of public issues.
