The second action anthology coordinated by this action is now available in hard copy. It is part of the series Routledge Studies in Media, Communication, and Politics. The book is based on a set of news and innovative empirical studies which focus on (a) politicians’ and journalists’ perceptions of populist communication, (b) media coverage of populism and (c) the effects of populist communication on citizens. The large-scale internationally comparative analysis presented in this book is based on comparative interview studies with journalists and politicians (15 countries in two studies), a large-scale comparative content analysis (12 countries), and a comparative cross-country experiment using nationally representative online-surveys (15 countries). The action core group are the editors of the book.
