iPolitics provides a current analysis of new media's effect on politics. Politicians rely on Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube to exercise political power. Citizens around the world also use these tools to vent political frustrations, join political groups, and organize revolutions. Political activists blog to promote candidates, solicit and coordinate financial contributions, and provide opportunities for volunteers. iPolitics describes the ways in which new media innovations change how politicians and citizens engage the political arena. Most importantly, the volume emphasizes the implications of these changes for the promotion of democratic ideals. Among other things, contributors to this volume analyze whether the public's political knowledge has increased or decreased in the new media era, the role television still plays in the information universe, the effect bloggers have had on the debate and outcome of healthcare reform, and the manner in which political leaders should navigate the new media environment. While the majority of contributors examine new media and politics in the United States, the volume also provides a unique comparative perspective on this relationship using cases from abroad.

Book Description:
iPolitics analyzes whether politicians and citizens engage the political arena differently as a result of new media's growing presence. Scholars examine topics such as politicians' use of Twitter and Facebook, YouTube's role in political campaigns, and the Internet's impact on political participation. iPolitics also asks whether recent changes in the news and information environment promote democratic ideals. Among other things, contributors analyze whether new media has increased public knowledge, the effect bloggers have had on the debate and outcome of healthcare reform, and political leaders' navigation of the new media environment.
