Fortschritte der politischen Kommunikationsforschung

Political communication has always been a central subject of research in communication and political science. In this Festschrift for Lutz Erbring, renowned authors such as Manfred Güllner, Otfried Jarren, Wolfgang R. Langenbucher, Friedhelm Neidhardt, Norman H. Nie, Winfried Schulz, and Gerhard Vowe discuss the conditions, modes of operation, and consequences of political communication in democratic societies. In the first part of the volume, the authors reflect on basic questions of the theory of the public sphere, strategic organizational communication, and journalism and impact research. In the second part of the volume, current empirical findings in political communication research are presented. (automated translation by DeepL)
