Routledge - Politics and the Mediatization of School Policy

Explore the complex relationship between media, politics, and education in this academic study by Routledge. Politics and the Mediatization of School Educational Policy: The Dog-Whistle Dynamic addresses a significant gap in current research regarding how dog-whistle journalism and politics impact school educational policy and practice. This book examines the emergence and current impact of dog-whistle politics across three major regions: Australia, the US, and the UK. By analyzing how these political tactics are used, the text questions the consequences when dog-whistle communication is directed specifically at school educational settings. It provides a deep look into the common targets of these political tactics and the resulting effects on the educational landscape. This is an essential resource for those studying the intersection of media influence and educational governance.
