Kenneth W. Moffett and Laurie L. Rice find that online forms of political participation--like friending or following candidates and groups as well as blogging or tweeting about politics--draw in a broader swathe of young adults than might ordinarily participate. Political scientists have traditionally determined that participatory patterns among the general public hold less sway in shaping civic activity among college students. This book, however, recognizes that young adults' political participation requires looking at their online activities and the ways in which these help mobilize young adults to participate via other forms. Moffett and Rice discover that engaging in one online participatory form usually begets other forms of civic activity, either online or offline.Lexington studies in political communication.College studentsPolitical activityEducation, HigherEffect of technological innovations onCollege studentsPolitical activity.Education, HigherEffect of technological innovations on.320.0835Moffett Kenneth W.1628357Rice Laurie L.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910810270603321Web 2.0 and the political mobilization of college students3965466UNINA
