      abstract = {"Countless people around the world harness the affordances  of digital media to enable democratic participation,  coordinate disaster relief, campaign for policy change, and  strengthen local advocacy groups. The world watched as  activists used social media to organize protests during the  Arab Spring, Occupy Wall Street, and Hong Kong's Umbrella  Revolution. Many governmental and community organizations  changed their mission and function as they adopted new  digital tools and practices. This book examines the use of  'civic media' -- the technologies, designs, and practices  that support connection through common purpose in civic,  political, and social life. Scholars from a range of  disciplines and practitioners from a variety of  organizations offer analyses and case studies that explore  the theory and practice of civic media."--Publisher  description.},
