The new E-Voter Institute book About Face: The Dramatic Impact of the Internet on Politics and Advocacy, Karen A.B. Jagoda (E-Voter Institute Press, 2009) has just been published. This is the second in a series of books about how the Internet is impacting the way political and advocacy campaigns are being run and how the web is changing the expectations of voters. This book with contributions from 20 industry insiders will stand the test of time. It is a mixture of optimism about the use of the Internet in campaigns with a strong element of realism about how hard it is to effectuate change in the process.

With the results of the 2009 elections today, we now see that strategies and lessons learned in 2008 may or may not work in 2010 to say nothing about 2012. Our new book includes best practices, case studies and research that can help political strategists more clearly see the Internet options for reaching and persuading voters.

The E-Voter book is available as a trade paperback and eBook. Check out the ISBN information and links on the E-Voter Institute site to order the book.
