Beschreibung
The advent of digital media has changed political communication. Populist movements are adept at using the affordances of new media.Digital media also make it easier than ever for the public to respond to politicians, or to launch their own initiatives.These changes are analysed across countries as diverse as Venezuela, USA, Pakistan and Romania.
The relationship between politics and digital media is currently a focus of intense interest: the symbiosis between the two spheres is such that political activity is now almost inseparable from media communication. However, the implications of this development are not fully understood. Digital media are a powerful tool in the hands of mainstream parties, but also make it easier than ever before for the public to express their reactions, or for new actors to enter the political arena. This volume explores the intersection between politics and new media, which involves crucial ideals, values and aspirations, such as informed democracy, citizens’ empowerment and social debate, but also negative aspects like manipulation and polarization.
