Opis

Democracies must confront the rise of digital media in politics and their role in informing, mobilizing, and persuading every-day citizens. This survey provides academics, journalists, and general readers with a data-driven guide to making sense of recent events like Brexit and the rise of Donald Trump, without ignoring longer-term trends.

The wide-ranging analysis explores the needs that digital media provides for political organizations, for the spread of information, and for enabling collective action in the broadest sense.'
