As an installment of Routledge’s Broadcast Education Association
(BEA) Electronic Media Research Series, Political Communication,
Culture, and Society focuses on the expansive concept of political
communication and illuminates the processes, contents, and effects
related to myriad forms and vehicles of political communication.
Whether involving traditional print or broadcast media, social
media platforms, or face-to-face discussions, political
communication today has shaped how we perceive others and
understand the world around us, including our place in it, and
ultimately, how we engage with others as social, cultural, and
political beings. Hailing from multiple locations and drawing on a
multitude of theories as well as quantitative and qualitative
methodologies, the volume’s contributors examine how
communication intersects with politics in a broad swath of
contexts, ranging from climate change to migration to the notion of
political correctness. Collectively they ask and answer questions
about how today’s richly textured media ecology shapes our
political world and how political messages can fuel – and
ameliorate – the issues that deeply cleave societies around the
globe. Relevant to scholars and students of journalism, media
studies, and communication sciences, this volume will help
interested readers better understand today’s increasingly complex
sociocultural world through the lens of political communication
This book is broadly concerned with the issue of electronic
democracy (e-democracy): It asks whether the Internet strengthens
democracy in advanced industrial polities, and if so how and under
what conditions. It seeks to understand (a) whether and how the
Internet modifies the existing structure of political inequality;
(b) whether and how the Internet alters the context of traditional
political action; and (c) whether the Internet holds a
democratising potential and what is its nature. More generally, the
book contributes toward the clarification of the ongoing debate on
e-democracy, by examining the discourse surrounding the evolution
of the issue. It reviews a large portion of the literature on
online political engagement, organised in three main approaches. It
presents and analyses original data on online political engagement
to test the state of e-democracy in Britain. Finally, it advances a
theoretical framework for the understanding of the "real" digital
divide, drawing on the theory of political participation.
This edited volume on voices arose from the 2018 International
Communication Association conference in Prague, Czech Republic. The
contributions examine the conference's central theme from multiple
epistemological approaches, a host of methodologies, and numerous
levels of analysis. They reveal how studying voice-or the plurality
of voices-illuminates the process by which it is fostered and/or
constrained as well as the conditions under which it is expressed
and/or stifled. More important, the study of voice sheds light on
the process by which it impacts behaviors, defines relationships,
influences policies, and shapes the world in which we live. In
other words, studies of voice are not relegated to a few domains,
but interface with myriad discourses, actors, processes, and
outcomes.

Public opinion polls point to a continuing decline in confidence in
the Presidency, court system, Congress, the news media, state
government, public education, and other key institutions. Moy and
Pfau analyze the reasons for this crisis of confidence, with
particular attention to the role of the media. Moy and Pfau examine
the impact of sociodemographic factors, political expertise, and
use of communication media on people's perceptions of confidence in
democratic institutions. Their conclusions are based on two years
of data collection. In three waves between 1995 and 1997, they
conducted a series of content analyses of media depictions of
democratic institutions in conjunction with general survey data.
The result is one of the most comprehensive examinations ever
conducted on the influence of the media on public confidence. It
will be of great value to scholars, researchers, students, and
professionals in government and the media.
