New communication technologies have reshaped media and politics. But who are the new power players? The Hybrid Media System is a sweeping new theory of how political communication now works. Politics is increasingly defined by organizations, groups, and individuals who are best able to blend older and newer media logics, in what Chadwick terms a hybrid system. From American presidential campaigns to WikiLeaks, from live prime ministerial debates to hotly contested political scandals, from the daily practices of journalists and campaign workers to the struggles of new activist organizations, the clash of media logics causes chaos and disintegration but also surprising new patterns of order and integration. The updated second edition features a new preface and an extensive new chapter applying the conceptual framework to the extraordinary 2016 U.S. presidential campaign, the rise of Donald Trump, and the anti-Trump resistance protests.
Industry Reviews
"This is an important book, already cited as seminal in the field of political communication." -Choice "...mandatory reading for any scholar of contemporary political communication" -Political Communication "...illuminating, reorienting, even analytically liberating." -Political Science Quarterly "...dizzyingly multidimensional..." -Journalism "...great insights, a highly enjoyable reading experience, and excellent research." -Public Administration "Chadwick's measured analytical approach is one of the book's great strengths." -The International Journal of Press/Politics "Chadwick approaches media with considerable theoretical nuance and a rigorously empirical sensibility a major contribution to advancing our understanding of media and politics." -Social Forces "This is an important and timely book will likely one day be measured by the weight of future scholarship that it inspires." -Information Polity "Chadwick's primary aim is to peel away the misbegotten dichotomies shaping so many current debates surrounding contemporary political communication and to present alternative frameworks that go beyond those dichotomies. In that aim, he is extraordinarily successful." -Media, Culture, & Society "Big theory for understanding a complex political media environment." -The Journal of Politics "...valuable, thought-provoking, and conceptually-compelling." -Perspectives on Politics "Having read this, many textbooks feel dated to me now. This volume describes the organization, logic, and function of contemporary media in immediate and engaging terms. It is a must read for all students of media, and interested parties in general." -Zizi Papacharissi, University of Illinois Chicago
