Politicians and the Press: From Co-operation to an Adversary Relationship?

Abstract

Political actors and mass media actors are involved in a permanent struggle over the content of mediated political communications. Forms and outcomes of this struggle are to a large extent dependent on contextual conditions of countries (political cultures, institutional structures). Proposals are invited for contributions that inquire these specifities and their relevance. Papers focusing on new democracies or comparisons between old and new democracies are of particular interest.
