This edited collection makes a unique contribution to analyses of
the changing nature and challenges of mediated political
communication, through a distinctive comparative discourse
analytical approach. The book explores how politics is performed
and discursively constructed in television news and current affairs
in five countries (France, Greece, Italy, Sweden and the UK) and
focuses on a moment in time in European politics characterized by
challenging tensions; increased Euroscepticism, questioning of
mainstream politics; accentuated gaps between the elite and the
citizens, and polarizations between member states. Emphasising the
performative and discursive dimensions of political communication,
the chapters provide a detailed comparative analysis that is
centred around three themes: how symbolic representations of
politics are shaped by journalistic practices, genres and styles of
news reporting; the language and performances of mainstream and
populist political leaders; and the participation and
representation of citizens' voices.

How does news circulate in a major post-industrial city? And how in
turn are identities and differences formed and mediated through
this circulation? This seminal work is the first to offer an
empirical examination, and trace a city's pattern of, news
circulation. Encompassing a comprehensive range of practices
involved in producing, circulating and consuming 'news' and
recognizing the various ways in which individuals and groups may
find out, follow and discuss local issues and events, The Mediated
City critiques thinking that takes the centrality of certain news
media as an unquestioned starting point. By doing so, it opens up a
discussion: do we know what news is? What types of media constitute
it? And why does it matter?
