Political communication has changed dramatically over the last few years. The internet offers new possibilities for communication today. As a result, citizens, journalists as well as politicians face new opportunities and challenges. Throughout the seminar, we will discuss key issues in online political communication. We will discuss, for example, how the global media landscape has changed, how populism is on the rise in many countries, how extremists use social media to spread their ideology, and how political actors make use of the affordances of the networked environment to circumvent classic gatekeepers. The course will specifically discuss how these issues affect journalism. We will discuss international as well as domestic examples. |
