Political Communication in Canada : Meet the Press and Tweet the Rest Hardback
Edited by Alex Marland, Thierry Giasson, Tamara A. Small
Part of the Communication, Strategy, and Politics series
Hardback
Description
Changes in technology and media consumption are transforming the way people communicate about politics.
Are they also changing the way politicians communicate to the 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.
Drawing on recent examples, contributors review such things as the branding of the New Democratic Party, how Stephen Harper’s image is managed, and politicians’ use of Twitter.
They also discuss the evolving role of political journalism, including media coverage of politics and how Canadians use the Internet for political discussions.
In an era when political communication – from political marketing to citizen journalism – is of vital importance to the workings of government, this timely volume provides insight into the future of Canadian democracy.
