‘The Handbook of Digital Politics edited by Stephen Coleman and Deen 
Freelon is an incredibly rich and outstanding collection of essays on 
the ideologies, theories and methodologies that currently inspire the 
field of political science and communication. The editors brilliantly 
succeed in guiding us through this fascinating world – avoiding any 
rhetoric, or either a dystopian or utopian perspective on the subject. 
The articles collected here represent the golden section of the 
contemporary debate on digital politics.’
– Leopoldina Fortunati, Head of the Ph.D program in Multimedia 
Communication, University of Udine, Italy

‘Coleman and Freelon have deftly edited a series of essays that help 
us transition to the next big thing in political communication—an 
internet connecting many people over many kinds of devices, making large 
volumes of data. Digital politics is no longer so much about what 
happens in your browser, but about what happens when your devices talk 
to each other on their own. This collection helps us to get ready to 
understand the new infrastructure of political life.’
– Philip N. Howard, University of Washington, US
