[Commlist] publication of Routledge Companion to Political Journalism

/The Routledge Companion to Political Journalism/,

This international edited collection brings together the latest research 
in political journalism, examining the ideological, commercial and 
technological forces that are transforming the field and its evolving 
relationship with news audiences. Comprising 40 original chapters 
written by a mix of leading scholars and early-career researchers from 
around the world, the book offers topical insights from the disciplines 
of political science, media, communications and journalism. Drawing on 
interviews, textual analysis, quantitative statistical methods and a 
range of other empirical and theoretical approaches, the volume is 
divided into six parts, each focusing on a major theme in the 
contemporary study of political journalism. Topics covered include 
far-right media, populism, local political journalism practices, public 
engagement, audience participation, agenda setting, and advocacy and 
activism in journalism, with case studies drawn from the United Kingdom, 
Hungary, Russia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Sub-Saharan Africa, Italy, Brazil, 
the United States, Greece and Spain.
