Description
Throughout the 20 century the role of media in politics has continued to grow steadily. Growing circulation of newspapers, emergence of radio and television made it possible to spread the news with previously unprecedented speed. New technologies opened new forms of cooperation between the politics and the media and strengthened not only the two-way interaction but also the two-way influence. As a result, in the modern world of politics voters are constantly covered by the influence of media: media coverage provides the lens through which political events are viewed and evaluated by the majority of the population. These new forms of interaction have changed the very concept of mass behavior, introduced and developed Gustave Le Bon and Gabriel Tarde. Now that the space between a couch and a TV is perfectly enough to create the effect of mass communication, you can talk about the phenomenon of mediated politics.
