Inhaltsangabe

Relations between the public and political figures are in a period of flux. New expectations and meanings of citizenship are being entertained and acted upon in combination with an inexorable impoverishment of mainstream political communication. This 2009 book argues that the Internet has the potential to improve public communications and enrich democracy.
