*Book Description*

Tweeting Brexit presents the most thorough examination of the role that 
the most political social network, Twitter, played in creating, 
negotiating, and challenging Brexit narratives during the process of 
UK’s exiting of the European Union.

Working with multiple methods, from digital media analysis to 
interviews, and a wide variety of data, the book offers scrutiny of 
Brexit-related tweets and discourses they promote and gives voice to key 
actors – UK citizens, political and media actors – to explain why and 
how they’ve used Twitter to engage with Brexit and with what outcomes. 
In doing so, the author engages with, and enhances, a range of 
theoretical discussions central to our understanding of the role of 
social media in politics, from permanent campaigning on social media and 
social media journalism, to the issue of online abuse and its impact on 
users' well-being and mental health, as well as the functioning of a 
pluralist democratic society. With a reach far beyond the central Brexit 
case study, the book discusses new trends and practices in political 
communication and contextualises them with references to empirical evidence.

The book may be of interest to students and researchers in journalism, 
digital media and politics, digital methods, and related areas, as well 
as anyone interested in developing their understanding of the role that 
Twitter plays in political communications.
