Summary

The 2008 U.S. election was arguably the most important election of our lifetime: the first African American president was elected into office; the candacy of Sarah Palin marked only the second time that a major party ticket included a female candidate; and the electoral performance of young citizens - digital natives - greatly attracted by digital media, signaled the highest turnout in a long time.Taking all these issues into consideration, this volume offers a landmark examination of the 2008 election from a global perspective with emphasis on the wide range of digital media utilized by the campaigners and how campaign communication influenced young citizens. The authors argue that the use of digital technologies in the campaign, and the success of Barack Obama in attracting young voters to his cause, provides an excellent case study-perhaps something of a turning point in campaign communication-for carefully examining the emerging role of digital political media, and a continuing renewal in young citizens' electoral engagement. The wide-ranging studies that make up this volume provide a comprehensive examination of a historic political campaign and election. While findings from the analyses offer revealing answers regarding the content and effects of various forms of political campaign communication, many more questions and possibilities for future research are raised.
