The successful Brexit referendum campaign; Donald Trump's election;
and the rise of right-wing nationalist-populist political parties
and movements - all of these events have incited renewed interest
in public communication and the internetised media, deliberative
democracy and public spheres, challenged by an informational
abundance that generates a communicative liquefaction of publicness
and politics. This book celebrates the 25th anniversary of the
journal Javnost - The Public, bringing together internationally
renowned scholars from 20 countries to discuss topical issues in
contemporary media and communication research. It focuses on
challenging issues of the changing nature of publicness and the
public sphere in the internet age, issues of democracy and the
crisis of public communication and the tasks of media and
communication research as a social practice. It critically reflects
on the democratisation crisis and the demise of popular and
scholarly optimism, which the emerging internet inspired in early
1990s, when Javnost - The Public was founded.
