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 Publi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47573187199127,"sku":"9781433115936","price":3530.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781433115936.webp?v=1774892184","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-permanent-campaign-new-media-new-politics-9781433115936","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
