{"product_id":"9781433116063","title":"The Permanent Campaign: New Media, New Politics","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom the social media-based 2008 Obama election campaign to the civic protest and political revolutions of the 2011 Arab Spring, the past few years have been marked by a widespread and complex shift in the political landscape, as the rise of participatory platforms – such as YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, and blogs – have multiplied the venues for political communication and activism.\u003cbr\u003e This book explores the emergence of a permanent campaign – the need for constant readiness – on networked communication platforms, focusing on political moments, crises and elections in Canada, the U.S.A., and Australia. The book chapters investigate the proliferation of new political actors and communicators: political bloggers, advocacy groups, diverse publics, and political party staff as they engage in political maneuvers across participatory platforms. With in-depth analyses of some of the most well-known participatory media today, this book offers a critical assessment of the constant efforts at managing the plurality of voices that characterize contemporary politics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47042349727984,"sku":"9781433116063","price":179.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781433116063_p0.jpg?v=1763750406","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781433116063","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
