Recenzje

In this interesting and thoughtful book, Annelise Russell explores legislative representation from a new angle. By investigating how senators' messaging strategies on social media shape their reputations among their constituents and the expectations those constituents have of them, Russell demonstrates convincingly that their use of Twitter is more than just "cheap talk." Instead, senators effectively manage competing demands and competing priorities as they engage in the process of representation.
