Media, Politics and Communication: European Perspectives - by Jeffrey Schindler (Hardcover)

About the Book

Media, politics and communication are integral components of modern societies, intricately interlinked to shape public discussion and governance.

Understanding the complex interplay between media, politics and communication is essential for navigating contemporary democracies and addressing challenges like misinformation and polarization. By recognizing the interconnected nature of these spheres, we gain insight into the mechanisms driving political processes and societal transformations. The book aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of media influence and its impact on political processes and societal transformations across the continent. It explores all the important aspects of media, politics and communication in the present day scenario. It will serve as a valuable source of reference for those interested in this field.
