We are living in a period of great uncertainty. The rise of extreme
populists, economic shocks and rising international tensions are
not only causing turmoil but are also signs 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 to both introduce and challenge the established
literature. It revisits key questions such as: Why are polarised
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. Â Political
Communication: An Introduction for Crisis Times will appeal
to advanced students and scholars of political communication as
well as anyone trying to understand the precarious state of today's
media and political landscape.
