Special issue: "Communication Flows in the European Elections: Amid Populism and Euroscepticism".

It a pleasure to announce that the special issue "Communication Flows in the European Elections: Amid Populism and Euroscepticism" has already been released. The articles published have been written by a panel of international specialists, who first introduced their research findings during the "European Elections 2019: Populism & Euroscepticism" congress that took place in Valencia, Spain, in 2019. The congress was organized by the members of the University of Valencia research group on political communication www.MediaFlows.es

The magazine issue, as well as the congress, have been devoted to the analysis of political communication within a very specific context:

“The rise of populist movements from different ideologies, often linked to Eurosceptical positions, coincides with a context of uncertainty in the European project. From a political perspective, public debate focuses on addressing the European Union project itself. Similarly, the institutional crisis within the EU, whose epicentre now focuses on Brexit, paralyses advances in integration policies. The political fragility of the Paris-Berlin axis, a slowdown in economic growth and the problems emerging from the mismanagement of migratory flows contribute to fostering nationalist, ethnocentric and rejectionist discourses. With such a situation, we considered highly appropriate to analyze whether the media and digital communication reflection of the discussions taking place contribute to its clarification or, on the contrary, increase tensions. The role of mediation and mediatization of crucial messages is key when defining, firstly, their interdependence and, secondly, the extent of their influence on public opinion, the construction of collective imagination and the impact on electoral processes”.

The issue has been published at the Spanish magazine Tripodos (Scopus, Q4). Articles deal with several interesting questions: the use of social networks for political communication; the raise of populism and Euroscepticism all around the continent, anti-migration discourses, ideological polarization, and audiovisual representations of politics.

We do invite you to discover in detail the issue through the following link:
