Summary:

Changes in technology and media consumption are transforming the way people communicate about politics. Are they also changing the way politicians communicate to the Canadian public? Political Communication in Canada examines the way political parties, politicians, interest groups, the media, and citizens are using new tactics, tools, and channels to disseminate information, and also investigates the implications of these changes.
