The civic organization and the digital citizen : communicating engagement in a networked age /
Wells, ChrisAuthor
This title investigates the changing relationship between citizens and civic organisations by exploring how social changes and innovations in communication technology are transforming the information expectations and preferences of citizens. It is the first work to bring together theories of civic identity change with research on civic organisations. Specifically, it argues that a shift in information styles may help to explain the disjuncture felt by many young people when it comes to institutional participation and politics.
