Order Description
”The modern publicity state involves a competitive struggle to influence and control popular perceptions of key political events and issues through the major mass media. [It] could be likened to
the irresistible force of a magnet, obliging those that enter its field to conform to its pull. This is then capable of altering messages of opinion advocates, the issues and terms of political
combat and public discourse, and finally the choices of citizens themselves (Blumler, 1990, 101, 113).
Discuss the above quote in relation to:
– The historical, political, organizational, technological and other developments that influenced politics, government communication, and media practices, and structures
– the impact on political communication of specific processes of political marketing and public relations
– the consequences of the modern publicity state on communication for citizenship
