The election of Donald Trump as US President in 2016 seemed to catch the world napping. Like the vote for Brexit in the UK, there seemed to be a new de-synchronicity – a huge reality gap – between the unfolding of history and the mainstream news media’s interpretations of and reporting of contemporary events. Through a series of short, sharp interventions from academics and journalists, this book interrogates the emergent media war around Donald Trump.

‘As the first US president to openly defy long-accepted journalistic norms, Donald Trump has provoked fury, frustration and occasionally admiration. This eminently readable collection of essays from a variety of distinguished commentators and academics offers some very stimulating reflections on a digital media phenomenon who, whether we like it or not, is rewriting the rules of political communication. Highly recommended for students and anyone interested in journalism, politics, media or contemporary culture.’ (Steven Barnett, Professor of Communications, University of Westminster, UK)


‘Trump and the media are a paradox: On the one hand, Trump makes use of Twitter like no other president, on the other hand, he positions himself sharper than ever against critical media. In a highly sophisticated way, the contributions in this volume open the eyes to this media paradox of Trump’s presidency.’ (Andreas Hepp, Professor, ZeMKI, University of Bremen, Germany)
