Editorial Reviews
Review
“A very valuable addition to the literature on political campaigns and communications, serving an important role in addressing the intersection of technology and human behavior.”–Paul M.A. Baker “Center for Advanced Communications Policy, Georgia Institute of Technology” (4/9/2008 12:00:00 AM)
“Panagopoulos has assembled 16 original studies that explore how some of the political campaigns of 2008 adapted to and used the Internet as a tool to inform, target, and mobilize volunteers, contributors, and voters. The most innovative aspects of this anthology are the four essays that discuss how blogs and social networking sites were utilized in campaigns. Overall, this innovative text provides a solid foundation for understanding how new technology is influencing political campaigns. Highly recommended.”– “Choice” (1/1/2010 12:00:00 AM)
“These contributions help us better understand the many different ways the web is leaving its mark on politics.
Politicking Online is recommended reading for scholars and students of American politics, electorial campaigns and political communication, and a valuable addition to existing scholarship on the Web and politics. The findings should be thought-provoking and raise new questions as we conduct democacy during an ongoing technological revolution.”– “American Review of Politics” (1/1/2009 12:00:00 AM)
