I like The Myth of Digital Democracy. It has some good history and background of the “mechanics” of the web too: Hindman, Matthew. The myth of digital democracy. Princeton University Press, 2008. And this is a pretty interesting case study on the role of Twitter in the Egyptian revolution (and ties into some framing theory): Meraz, Sharon, and Zizi Papacharissi. "Networked gatekeeping and networked framing on# Egypt." The international journal of press/politics (2013): 1940161212474472. -jeanine <----------------------------------------------------> Jeanine Finn Doctoral Student School of Information University of Texas at Austin jefinn@ischool.utexas.edu https://www.ischool.utexas.edu/~jefinn/ On Aug 11, 2014, at 12:36 PM, Luis E.

Hi all,
Can anyone recommend some good readings for college seniors on online political advocacy? Ideally they would tie some of the most well-known communication or collective action theories like framing, agenda setting, resource mobilization, etc. to case studies of how activists have used social media and other online tools.
Thanks,
Luis
