Readings on online advocacy?
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.

I’ve used Digital Activism Decoded: The New Mechanics of Change, edited by Mary Joyce and available for free in full download here: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~sjm217/papers/digiact10all.pdf Many good chapters — less on the theory and bit more on practice in places, but students relate well — I particularly like the way the chapter by Dave Karpf talks about strategy versus tactics in online political advocacy.

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.
