The Internet and the 2016 Presidential Campaign
Although many developments surrounding the Internet campaign are now considered to be standard fare, there were a number of new developments in 2016. Drawing on original research conducted by leading experts, The Internet and the 2016 Presidential Campaign attempts to cover these developments in a comprehensive fashion. How are campaigns making use of the Internet to organize and mobilize their ground game? To communicate their message? The book also examines how citizens made use of online sources to become informed, follow campaigns, and participate. Contributions also explore how the Internet affected developments in media reporting, both traditional and non-traditional, about the campaign. What other messages were available online, and what effects did these messages have had on citizen’s attitudes and vote choice? The book examines these questions in an attempt to summarize the 2016 online campaign.

Guide to Political Campaigns in America
In this reference designed for scholastic reference (which should also be used by media fact-checkers on those busy election nights, contributors to these 27 chapters describe how political campaigns work in the US, how they are financed, who gets to vote and when, what campaign staffers do to influence voters and wrangle candidates, and how specific types of campaigns differ from one another in execution and intent. Topics include laws and regulations about campaigns, the players and parties involved, polling and research, preparing for debates, getting out the (hopefully sympathetic) vote, and the probable future of current efforts toward campaign reform. Each article includes its own references, just in case that election night turns out to be not quite as busy as previously thought. Annotation : 2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
