Mehr zum Buch

The book provides a critical examination of the notion that modern media practices undermine political journalism and democracy. Through textual analysis and interviews with industry professionals, it presents a more hopeful perspective, highlighting the significant increase in political information available to the public. The author argues that contemporary journalism has become more rigorous in critiquing elites, more accessible to audiences, and offers comprehensive coverage of political processes, countering the idea of a decline in quality.
