Trump, Television and the Media: From Drama to "Fake News" to Tweetstorms

Friday 30 and Saturday 31 October 2020

Conference Organiser: Dr Karen McNally, London Metropolitan University


Registration is now open for this free two-day virtual conference hosted 
by the Media, Culture and Creative Technologies Group in London 
Metropolitan University’s School of Computing and Digital Media, which 
brings together an international group of speakers for an exploration of 
this extraordinary era in American politics and media. The event 
includes talks on themes from the engagement of fictional drama, comedy 
and reality TV with the Trump era, to the representation of Donald Trump 
through journalism and television news media, and Trump’s use of 
television and tweets as political strategies.

The conference will also include a keynote address by James Poniewozik, 
Chief Television Critic at the New York Times and author of Audience of 
One: Donald Trump, Television, and the Fracturing of America (2019), as
