The book starts by tracing the history of political communication from traditional media to the digital sphere, introducing core concepts like sentiment analysis. It then investigates voter mobilization, misinformation, and political advertising on social media, supported by data from social media analytics, case studies, and qualitative analysis of online content. It provides a balanced approach, acknowledging both the benefits and dangers of social media in politics. The book culminates with a discussion of reforms and solutions, offering practical implications for voters, policymakers, and campaign managers.
