DESCRIPTION
The central issue in this course is how the media (and media companies), political actors (the government, ministries, politicians, political parties, businesses, interest groups and social movements) and citizens influence each other. We address in particular the changing media landscape (media concentration and integration), political reporting ('Fake News' and misinformation), the mediatisation of politics (a.o. the work of Jesper Strömbäck) and the mutual interdependence and influence of media and politics (the so-called 'media-politics-media cycle' by, among others, Gadi Wolfsfeld).
