Politics and relations among individuals in societies across the world are being
transformed by new technologies for targeting individuals and sophisticated meth-
ods for shaping personalized messages. The new technologies challenge boundaries
of many kinds – between news, information, entertainment, and advertising; be-
tween media, with the arrival of the World Wide Web; and even between nations.
Communication, Society, and Politics probes the political and social impacts of these
new communication systems in national, comparative, and global perspective.
