Growing anti-immigration attitudes, rising nationalist
tendencies, landslide victories of populist figures as well as the dissolution
of national and supranational entities – these are just some of the multiple
political and societal challenges western democracies are facing nowadays.
These challenges have been said to affect the way citizens, the media and
political actors communicate among and with each other. More specifically,
concerns about the deliberative quality of these communications have been put
forward. While this observation has so far been corroborated by a series of
isolated studies, which produced not more than a few islands of analysis, an integrative
and comprehensive perspective on the deliberative qualities of citizens’,
journalists’, and politicians’ communication is yet missing.
The special issue “Citizens, Media and Politics in
Challenging Times: Perspectives on the Deliberative Quality of
Communication" thus addresses this gap in the literature by systematically
bringing together different strands of research on the deliberative qualities
of citizens’, journalists’, and politicians’ communication. The special issue
thus aims at providing an integrative and comprehensive picture on modern
political communication in times western democracies are facing a multitude of
disruptive challenges. Theoretical, empirical and methodological contributions
focusing on the deliberative qualities of citizens’, journalists’, and
politicians’ communication are welcome.
