The mass media are playing an increasingly central role in
modern political life that expands beyond their traditional
function as mediators between the world of politics and the
citizens.
This volume explores the extent and circumstances under which
the media affects public policy; whether the political impact of
the media is confined to the public representation of politics or
whether their influence goes further to also affect the substance
of political decisions. It provides an in-depth understanding of
the conditions under which the media might, or might not, play a
role in the policy process and what the nature of their influence
is.
Bringing together conceptual and methodological approaches from
both political science and communications studies, this book
presents an interdisciplinary perspective. It presents empirical
evidence of the processes involved in the interaction between mass
communication and policy and features case studies from Western
Europe and the US and across different policy fields.
The book will be of interest to students of public policy,
political communication and comparative politics.
