The Dynamics of Political Communication: Media and Politics in a Digital Age
The third edition of The Dynamics of Political Communication continues its comprehensive coverage of communication and politics, focusing on problematic issues that bear on the functioning of democracy in an age of partisanship, social media, and political leadership that questions media’s legitimacy.
The book covers the intersections between politics and communication, calling on related social science disciplines as well as normative political philosophy. This new edition is thoroughly updated and includes a survey of the contemporary political communication environment, unpacking fake news, presidential communication, hostile media bias, concerns about the waning of democracy, partisan polarization, political advertising and marketing, the relationship between social media and the news media, and the 2020 election, all the while drawing on leading new scholarship in these areas.
It's ideally suited for upper-level undergraduate and graduate political communication courses in communication, journalism, and political science programs.
This edition again features online resources with links to examples of political communication in action, such as videos, news articles, tweets, and press releases. For instructors, an instructor’s manual, lecture slides, and test questions are also provided. Access the support material at www.routledge.com/9780367279417

Another textbook for a very interesting college course I took. Worth reading if you are not taking the course.

Well written and detailed description of how media plays an intermediate role between politics & people.

It’s good for what it is: a classroom guide to political communications for college students.
It defines and contextualizes salient theories and provides ample examples. However, I do not think this should be recommended as a stand-alone read. Despite reading this cover to cover (I think the only uni class I’ve ever actually read *all* the assigned readings?), I still learned the most from our class lectures.
Like I said, it’s good for its intent.
