Rezensionen

"In the academic world, it's rare that I think of myself a 'fan' of other scholars. But that is exactly the way I have always felt about Rick Perloff and his contributions to the mass communication literature. Perloff's explications of theory and research are so comprehensive in scope and clear in explanation that I find myself to be an ardent fan. In The Dynamics of Political Communication, Perloff proves once again that he is a beacon assisting scholars navigate to where we are now and shining light on where we are bound."-Douglas McLeod, University of Wisconsin-Madison

"Perloff's The Dynamics of Political Communication remains a go-to reference for students and scholars, showing the richness and dynamic evolution of the field. This edition is full of insights on the shapeshifting contours of political communication and new evidence that help us reconsider standard theories, concepts and arguments."-Silvio Waisbord, George Washington University

"With the most recent edition of The Dynamics of Political Communication: Media and Politics in a Digital Age, Perloff again synthesizes key strands of literature that define contemporary political communication research, updating it to consider fake news, misinformation, populist incivility and the politicization of the pandemic fueled by increasingly ideological media."-Dhavan V. Shah, University of Wisconsin-Madison
