General readers through faculty; professionals. * Choice * What Billard's book presents is an astute analysis of day-to-day campaigning in an increasingly digitalised media environment. It uses communications scholarship to describe the challenges that activists face when attempting to influence media narratives and public policy. Although the book focuses on the North American public sphere, Billard's detailed ethnographic analysis provides helpful insight for activists and scholars working in a variety of contexts. * Robin Skyer, Sociology 00 *
