Political Communication has fundamentally transformed as digital
technologies have become increasingly important in everyday life.
Technology platforms have become powerful political instruments for
world leaders, campaigns, social movements, journalists, and
non-governmental organizations. Moreover, they are essential to how
people communicate about politics, encounter and share political
information, and take action to pursue their political goals. This
is the first textbook to center digital platforms in understanding
political communication. Taking a global approach beyond the
context of Western democracies, the text reveals how digital
technologies like social media and search engines are increasingly
shaping political communication in countries around the world. It
shows how the core concepts, theories and processes of political
communication are being reshaped by platforms, from how elections
are contested to how issues make it onto policymaking agendas.
Topics covered include public opinion, journalism, strategic
communication, political parties, social movements, governance,
disinformation, propaganda, populism, race, ethnicity, and
democratic backsliding. Full of lively examples and pedagogical
features, Platforms, Power and Politics offers an
exciting and innovative new approach to political communication. It
is essential reading for students of political communication and an
important resource for scholars, journalists and policymakers.
