| Abstract: | The book chapter describes the anti-divorce campaign during the divorce referendum in 2011. By using social media and billboards with not only Jesus, supporters of the church raised their voices in favour of the homogeneity of the family system. As the momentum of the divorce referendum has faded, the author reveals his discovery of the parallel world of a new media ecosystem that thrives on unprecedented push-button publishing, information exchange, and irreverence. The silent tribe behind the creation of that world meddles in public affairs with aim of shaping its audience's beliefs and opinions. |
