- Summary:
- Incorporating Political Communications, and psychology literature, and multiple quantitative and qualitative datasets, Tweeting to Power illustrates how online social media is bypassing traditional media and creating a new forum for the exchange of political information and campaigning. The authors demonstrate how political actors utilize Twitter to control the flow of information and garner votes. By measuring the actual impact of online social media on the political process, the book shows how social media is creating a new paradigm for political communication and shifting the very foundation of the political process.
