About the Author Kenneth W.
Moffett and Rice discover that engaging in one online participatory form usually begets other forms of civic activity, either online or offline.
This book, however, recognizes that young adults\' Political participation requires looking at their online activities and the ways in which these help mobilize young adults to participate via other forms.
Political scientists have traditionally determined that participatory patterns among the general public hold less sway in shaping civic activity among College students.
Rice find that online forms of Political participation--like friending or following candidates and groups as well as blogging or tweeting about politics--draw in a broader swathe of young adults than might ordinarily participate.
Moffett and Laurie L.
Kenneth W. 0 and the Political Mobilization of College Students investigates how College students\' online activities, when politically oriented, can affect their Political participatory patterns offline.
