Besteht die sogenannte Mediengesellschaft aus gut informierten Bürgern? Geht mit der Verfügbarkeit des Internets ein Abbau von Wissensdifferenzen einher? Der Band gibt eine fundierte, knappe und anschauliche Einführung in die theoretischen Grundlagen, methodischen Zugänge, empirischen Befunde und gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhänge der Wissenskluftforschung.
