In the book Politics Moves Online: Campaigning and the Internet, Michael Cornfield provides a comprehensive guide to how the Internet has been used in political campaigns.Through a series of insightful cases, the author examines how candidates use the Web as a campaign tool and as a fund-raising mechanism, and how voters make use of the Internet to gather information and become more knowledgeable voters.

Publisher of the book is Century Foundation Press.
