This book investigates news use patterns among five different
generations in a time where digital media create a multi-choice
media environment. The book introduces the EPIG Model
(Engagement-Participation-Information-Generation) to study how
different generational cohorts' exposure to political information
is related to their political engagement and participation. The
authors build on a multi-method framework to determine direct and
indirect media effects across generations. The unique dataset
allows for comparison of effects between legacy and social media
use and helps to disentangle the influence on citizens' political
involvement in nonelection as well as during political campaign
times. Bringing the newly of-age Generation Z into the picture, the
book presents an in-depth understanding of how a changing media
environment presents different challenges and opportunities for
political involvement of this, as well as older generations.
Bringing the conversation around political engagement and the media
up to date for the new generation, this book will be of key
importance to scholars and students in the areas of media studies,
communication studies, technology, political science and political
communication.
The studies in this volume conceptualize populism as a type of
political communication and investigate it comparatively, focusing
on (a) politicians' and journalists' perceptions, (b) media
coverage, and (c) effects on citizens. This book presents findings
from several large-scale internationally comparative empirical
studies, funded by the European Cooperation in the field of
Scientific and Technical Research (COST), focusing on communication
and the media within the context of populism and populist political
communication in Europe. The studies are based on comparative
interview studies with journalists and politicians, a large-scale
comparative content analysis, and a comparative cross-country
experiment using nationally representative online-surveys over 15
countries. The book also includes advice for stakeholders like
politicians, the media, and citizens about how to deal with the
challenge of populist political communication. This enlightening
volume is 'populist' in the best sense and will be an essential
text for any scholar in political science, communication science,
media studies, sociology and philosophy with an interest in
populism and political communication. It does not assume specialist
knowledge and will remain accessible and engaging to students,
practitioners and policymakers. Chapter 1 and 11 of this book are
freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF under a Creative

This book tells the story of how the news media can help the
inattentive members of the public become better educated and
knowledgeable 'economic citizens'. The authors argue that changes
in the economy, journalism and consumer culture have made economic
news more visible, more mainstream and more accessible. They show
how economic news not only affects economic perceptions, but also
interest in the economy, knowledge about the economy, and economic
voting. Relying on statistical analyses, the book provides a
comprehensive and systematic study of the effects of economic news.

This book reviews the research on campaigns and elections and
investigates the effects of campaigning in referendums, drawing on
panel survey data, media content data, focus groups, and interviews
with journalists and campaign managers. The authors argue that the
media coverage not only influences public perceptions of the
campaign, the referendum issue and the party leaders, but that, in
a close race, it also shapes the voting and the political future of
the incumbent party.
The first study to investigate the dynamics and effects of a
referendum campaign on politicians, media and citizens, this
innovative volume will be of interest to students and researchers
of political communication.

Direct democracy is popular. Referenda are an increasingly
important means of enacting or preventing legislation in countries
around the world. This book focuses on the key actors in a
referendum (the political elites/ parties, the media and citizens)
and is centered around themes such as campaign style, campaign
effects, electoral mobilization and turnout, as well as vote
choice. The contributors specifically address the role of
referendum campaigns and their impact and show why referendum
campaigns may matter more than any other political election
campaigns.

News Framing Effects is a guide to framing effects theory, one of
the most prominent theories in media and communication science.
Rooted in both psychology and sociology, framing effects theory
describes the ability of news media to influence people's attitudes
and behaviors by subtle changes to how they report on an issue. The
book gives expert commentary on this complex theoretical notion
alongside practical instruction on how to apply it to research. The
book's structure mirrors the steps a scholar might take to design a
framing study. The first chapter establishes a working definition
of news framing effects theory. The following chapters focus on how
to identify the independent variable (i.e., the "news frame") and
the dependent variable (i.e., the "framing effect"). The book then
considers the potential limits or enhancements of the proposed
effects (i.e., the "moderators") and how framing effects might
emerge (i.e., the "mediators"). Finally, it asks how strong these
effects are likely to be. The final chapter considers news framing
research in the light of a rapidly and fundamentally changing news
and information market, in which technologies, platforms, and
changing consumption patterns are forcing assumptions at the core
of framing effects theory to be re-evaluated.

Political journalism is often under fire. Conventional wisdom and
much scholarly research suggest that journalists are cynics and
political pundits. Political news is void of substance and overly
focused on strategy and persons. Citizens do not learn from the
news, are politically cynical, and are dissatisfied with the media.
This book challenges these assumptions, which are often based on
single-country studies with limited empirical observations about
the relation between news production, content, and journalism's
effects. Based on interviews with journalists, a systematic content
analysis of political news, and panel survey data in different
countries, this book tests how different systems and media-politics
relations condition the contents of political news. It shows how
different content creates different effects, and demonstrates that
under the right circumstances citizens learn from political news,
do not become cynical, and are satisfied with political journalism.
