New book announcement - *Hybrid Politics. Media and Participation*

My book, *Hybrid Politics. Media and Participation* (SAGE Publications), is now available in print and as an ebook: https://uk.sagepub.com/en-gb/eur/hybrid-politics/book245549. The blurb says: "Hybrid Politics examines the combinations and competitions between older and newer media technologies, practices, actors, contents and logics, by exploring their potential and practical implications in terms of political participation. In this Swift, Laura Iannelli analyses the 'hybridity' of politics in democratic societies from a multidisciplinary perspective, identifying the diverse forms of power and political participation that coexist within the contemporary complex media sphere, and which influence participation in the spheres of institutionalised and protest politics. Building upon renowned global research and original case studies, the book proposes an innovative and challenging analytic strategy to understand, explain, and problematise the contemporary complexity of political participation and communication"
