Chapter 1 Introduction: Comprehending and Investigating Populist Communication From a Comparative Perspective

In: Routledge Studies in Media, Communication, and Politics

Abstract

First, the authors in this collection begin with the assumption that
populism can only be fully understood if the role played by communication
and the media is taken seriously. Second, the authors in this volume argue that our understanding
of populism can hugely benefit from systematic comparisons of various
national contexts, various groups of actors or organizations, and
different types of media.
