“…According to past studies, 'the politically active on the web are well-educated males with relatively high income and even relatively high age. But the younger they are, the more they post and participate' (Effing et al, 2011, p. 27;Hibberd, 2003;Wei and Yan, 2010). This issue of the digital divide is highly relevant from the perspective of differences between rural and urban communities (Donnermeyer and Hollifield, 2003).…”

This paper aims to answer the call for studies o Interaction between citizens and government has traditionally taken place in community settings, government meetings, special town hall meetings, written correspondence in letters, emails, or texts, or via a phone call to a government representative. With digital media, citizens can instantly interact with the government. The mobile component of digital media will continue to be important in this interaction. This research operates with the assumption that digital media expresses a paradigmatic shift regarding how to govern and how to communicate. Digital media clearly is transforming the way governments think, plan, and carry out their policies but more importantly, how they communicate public policy. Our research intends to understand how local government institutions in rural settings use digital media and other communication channels to communicate with their citizens. The research employs a comparative perspective by investigating rural communities from the US and Romania. This was achieved by undertaking a content analysis of local government’s websites and social media platforms, as well as collecting primary data through interviews with representatives of local government, to assess the ways they use digital media, traditional media, and other communication tools, and whether they viewed them as effective strategies.

“…In the last few decades, political participation is in decline (Coleman 1999;Eliasoph 1998;Hibberd, 2003;Shah, Schmierbach, Hawkins, Espino & Donavan, 2002) especially, among young people (Baumgartner & Morris, 2010;Livingstone, Bober & Helsper, 2005). Traditional church membership is also in decline (National Council of Churches, 2011;Webb, 2012).…”
