Blogging, Citizenship, and the Future of Media
This collection of original essays addresses a number of questions seeking to increase our understanding of the role of blogs in the contemporary media landscape. It takes a provocative look at how blogs are reshaping culture, media, and politics while offering multiple theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches to the study. Americans are increasingly turning to blogs for news, information, and entertainment. But what is the content of blogs? Who writes them? What is the consequence of the population’s growing dependence on blogs for political information? What are the effects of blogging? Do readers trust blogs as credible sources of information? The volume includes quantitative and qualitative studies of the blogosphere, its contents, its authors, and its networked connections. The readers of blogs are another focus of the collection: how are blog readers different from the rest of the population? What consequences do blogs have for the lives of everyday people? Finally, the book explores the ramifications of the blog phenomenon on the future of traditional media: television, newspapers, and radio.

The internet has become a powerful tool to mobilize audiences and spread information quickly. This book looks at environmental blogs in Germany and the UK, and compares their approaches to make their message heard. In particular, the study compares structural features of the blogs such as the length of entries or the number of comments that the blog posts earn but, it also looks at the bigger picture: how significant is the environmental blogosphere for the media landscape? Are these blogs able to motivate their readers to take action? This book attempts to explain the similarities and differences between UK and German green bloggers that are rooted in the particular development of the environmental movement, and formed by culture. Due to the fast pace that the internet develops at, this book must be regarded as a snapshot of the blogosphere in the year of 2011 which enables the reader to draw conclusions on the further development that the internet has taken up to the present moment.
