Political Communication
Kaup valmöguleikar
Við lifum á tímum mikillar óvissu. Uppgangur öfgafullra popúlista, efnahagsleg áföll og vaxandi spenna í alþjóðamálum valda ekki aðeins umróti heldur gefa einnig til kynna að mörgum þeirra vendipunkta í fjölmiðlum og stjórnmálum sem lengi hefur verið spáð sé nú náð. Þessar breytingar hafa alvarlegar afleiðingar fyrir lýðræðisríki um allan heim. Þessi önnur útgáfa af Political Communication tengir saman eldri og nýrri sjónarmið til að kortleggja pólitískar og menningarlegar breytingar og greina hvað þær þýða fyrir lýðræðiskerfi sem komin eru til ára sinna.
Í bókinni eru nýir kaflahlutar og allir kaflar hafa verið endurskoðaðir. Hún veitir áfram inngang að viðurkenndum fræðikenningum en tekst jafnframt á við þær með gagnrýnum hætti. Fjallað er á ný um lykilspurningar á borð við: Hvers vegna eru skautaðir kjósendahópar ekki lengur reiðubúnir að styðja rótgróna stjórnmálaflokka? Hvers vegna eru stórir hlutar hefðbundinna fjölmiðla annaðhvort að hverfa eða afskrifaðir sem „falsfréttir“? Og hvers vegna líkjast sumir lýðræðislega kjörnir leiðtogar einræðisherrum? Í þessari ítarlega uppfærðu útgáfu er lögð aukin áhersla á þróun stafrænna miðla og nýr alþjóðlegur samanburður auðgar umfjöllunina.
We are living in a period of great uncertainty. The rise of extreme populists, economic shocks and rising international tensions is not only causing turmoil but is also a sign that many long-predicted tipping points in media and politics have now been reached. Such changes have worrying implications for democracies everywhere. This second edition of Political Communication bridges old and new to map the political and cultural shifts and analyse what they mean for our ageing democracies.
With new sections and revisions to all chapters, the book continues both to introduce and challenge the established literature. It revisits key questions such as: Why are polarized electorates no longer prepared to support established political parties? Why are large parts of the legacy media either dying or dismissed as 'fake news'? And why do some democratic leaders look more like dictators? In this fully updated edition, there is greater focus on digital developments, and it is enriched with new global comparisons and useful ancillary material.
