New Trends in Political Communication – a Comparative Approach 1600-SZD-SPEC-NT-PA
During the classes, the current trends in political communication in democratic countries will be analyzed. The basis of the classes will be referencing current election campaigns in the context of the tools, forms, and content used by the candidates (candidates, political parties, political institutions, and of course, electoral committees). We will focus on phenomena that go beyond traditional political communication mechanisms such as television political advertising or classic public relations mechanisms
