Politics and relations among individuals in societies across the world are being trans-
formed by new technologies for targeting individuals and sophisticated methods for
shaping personalized messages. The new technologies challenge boundaries of many
kinds – between news, information, entertainment, and advertising; between 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.
