[Commlist] special issue on "Communication Flows in the European Elections: Amid Populism and Euroscepticism". published

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:
