Political news and campaign communication are increasingly hybrid, blending traditional and new media forms, as illustrated by analyses of WikiLeaks, Obama’s campaign, and presidential mediation. The study concludes that hybrid norms shape activism, parties, and government, underscoring politics and power within the hybrid media system. The article includes acknowledgements and sections on hybridity, media systems, contemporary contexts, the political information cycle, and hybrid norms in news and journalism.
