[Commlist] New book: Political Communication in Britain: the 2017 General Election

New book announcement

Political Communication in Britain: Campaigning, Media and Polling in 
the 2017 General Election. Palgrave.

As the UK again contemplates the possibility of returning to the polls 
this study revisits the most recent general election, a campaign that 
was about many things in addition to Brexit.
Against prior expectations the 2017 General Election proved to be 
particularly dramatic, repeatedly stunning commentators from its 
surprise calling right through to its frenetic conclusion.  In seven 
weeks a hitherto dominant Prime Minister saw her once seemingly 
unassailable lead in the polls eroded as support for her previously 
beleaguered rival surged.  The subsequent restoration of two-party 
dominance contributed to the return of a hung parliament with profound 
consequences for both Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn. Political 
Communication in Britain, the tenth volume in a series that began nearly 
four decades ago, revisits a momentous election by providing unique 
insights from the vantage point of those who fought, reported and 
researched a campaign that is likely to live long in the public imagination.

Features chapters from over twenty five academic and practitioner 
contributors on broadcast, print, social and digital media coverage as 
well reviews of main party campaigns and the performance of the polls.
