[Air-l] Re: Air-l digest - The Social Movements Question

Hans, I can offer a relevant chapter or two from my dissertation (it has a strong focus on the mainstream media perspective): Hacking for Democracy: A Study of the Internet as a Political Force and Its Representation in the Mainstream Media. Doctoral Dissertation. University of Maryland. 2003. The abstract, TOC, and a brief chapter overview: http://www.hungarianamerica.com/veghs/papers/abstract.pdf Chapter Seven deals with online political activism in general, and also offers a case study. Please let me know if you're interested - I'll give you (or anyone) access to the full paper. Cheers, Sandor
