Abstract

This editorial introduces the thematic issue of <em>Online Communities and Populism</em>. I begin by laying out the justification for taking up this topic and then articulate why <em>Media and Communication</em> is the ideal location to hold this discussion. Then I introduce the articles in this issue by listing the questions these articles take up, the four major themes these articles take on, and preview each article.
