About this book

The first book-long analysis of the 'mediatization of politics', this volume aims to understand the transformations of the relationship between media and politics in recent decades, and explores how growing media autonomy, journalistic framing, media populism and new media technologies affect democratic processes.

Reviews

'This book brings together some of the leading scholars in contemporary political communication to explore the mediatization of politics. Written in a highly accessible way it provides the reader with a critical insight into this increasingly important concept showcasing the latest theoretical reflections and empirical evidence. I have no doubt that this edited collection will become required reading for all those interested in understanding the mediatization process.' - James Stanyer, University of Loughborough, UK
