by ThomasMeyer (Author)
Political elites submit to the mass media's formulas in the hope of salvaging some influence over their public images. The media thus colonize politics, and the politicians' self-interest turns them into accomplices. This book argues that the media transform traditional party democracy into a media democracy.
