DESCRIPTION
This course focuses on how the media, political actors (the government, ministries, politicians, political parties, businesses, interest groups and social movements) and citizens influence each other. To this end, we address the changing media landscape considering the role of technological platforms, their algorithms and the changing patterns in political information production, distribution and consumption. The mediatisation of politics and the interdependence and influence of media and politics (the so-called 'media-politics-media cycle' of a.o. Gadi Wolfsfeld) is central to the discussions of the course.
