(Online) lobbying and politicization: interest groups’ successful adaptation of communication?

Abstract

Crucial questions in our field concern how old and new (online) modes of communication affect information exchanges between interest groups, policymakers and the general public; how politicization is spurred by groups’ (social) media strategies; or how the (framing of) information by lobbyists affects their political influence. This panel delves deeper into these interrelated questions.
