Includes bibliographical references. 1. Communication for & by digital natives in campaign 2008 -- 2. Candidate messages & images in campaign 2008 -- 3. Female candidates in campaign 2008 -- 4. International perspectives on campaign 2008 The 2008 U.S. election was arguably the most important election of our lifetime: the first African American president was elected to office; the candidacy of Sarah Palin marked only the second time that a major party ticket included a female; 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 book 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 |
