Emotions, Media and Politics

The communication of political information is an important process in the political system, and the mass media play a central role in this activity. New media have radically altered the way that government institutions operate, the way that political leaders communicate, the manner in which elections are contested, and citizen engagement. This book will briefly address the evolution of new media, before examining in greater detail their role in and consequences for political life. The book opens up new ways of thinking about and researching emotions, media, and politics.
