Media, Politics and Communication: European Perspectives

Media, politics and communication are integral components of modern societies, intricately interlinked to shape public discussion and governance. Media platforms, including traditional outlets and digital mediums, serve as sources for political information and opinion propagation. Conversely, politics influences media narratives, regulatory frameworks and messaging strategies, shaping public perceptions and policy outcomes. Effective communication is vital for political actors to convey messages, mobilize support and engage with citizens. Moreover, social media's emergence has revolutionized communication dynamics, facilitating broader citizen participation and amplifying diverse voices. Understanding the complex interplay between media, politics and communication is essential for navigating contemporary democracies and addressing challenges like misinformation and polarization. By recognizing the interconnected nature of these spheres, we gain insight into the mechanisms driving political processes and societal transformations. The book aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of media influence and its impact on political processes and societal transformations across the continent. It explores all the important aspects of media, politics and communication in the present day scenario. It will serve as a valuable source of reference for those interested in this field.
