Routledge Communicating Populism - Media and Politics Book

Explore the complex landscape of modern political discourse with Communicating Populism. Published by Routledge as part of the Routledge Studies in Media, Communication, and Politics series, this volume offers a deep investigation into populism as a specific form of political communication. This book provides a comparative analysis of how different actors interact within the political sphere. It examines the perceptions of both politicians and journalists, the nature of media coverage, and the resulting effects on citizens across Europe. By utilizing findings from several large-scale, internationally comparative empirical studies, the text offers a data-driven look at how communication shapes political movements. Supported by funding from the European Cooperation in the field of Scientific and Technical Research (COST), the research focuses on the relationship between communication and the media within the context of populist politics. This is an essential resource for students, researchers, and professionals interested in understanding the media dynamics and social impacts of populism in a European context.
