Political Communication section invites empirical and/or theoretical contributions on the new social (dis)order brought about by the high choice media environment. We welcome papers that address issues such as: information disorders; the changing nature of the relationship between citizens, political actors and the media, old and new; the implications of mediated and mediatized politics on the quality of modern democracy; the European political communication deficit; the link between political communication and media policy, new journalistic practices, but also rising antagonistic civic communicative inputs, practices and processes of the mediation and mediatization of politics. Similarly, we invite papers on communication strategies and news management of political elites; campaign communication; citizenship and public sphere; media effects on political orientations and participation; as well as interpersonal and online political communication. Papers that take a comparative view on political communication in Europe are very welcome.
