Rezensionen

"The book's major strength lies in situating the role of social media in civic engagement in a broader context. ... The book also provides an expanding view of social media not merely sending and receiving social media messages but also mobilizing, organizing, and facilitating resources and movements. ... The book is a great collection of case studies examining the nuanced role of social media in civic engagement in multiple settings." (Weiwu Zhang, CBQ Communication Booknotes Quarterly, Vol. 47, January-March, 2016)
