The global pandemic and consequent economic tumult have strained conventional theoretical accounts of what it means to be a citizen. The notion of a “new normal” has been widely adopted to describe the potential historical reframing that the pandemic has engendered. Drawing on previous theoretical accounts of crises and their ramifications, this article explores how the communicative features of democratic citizenship might be imagined and practised differently in the aftermath of the pandemic. It considers the spatial and ontological recasting of the idea of the civic public that has been precipitated by the present global crisis. The article calls for the elaboration of a language of public discourse by which people can develop new forms of communicative agency, enabling them to respond to urgent contingencies; negotiate tensions between historical possibilities; and cultivate emergent futures.

This chapter looks at the UK’s 2019 European election campaign in two lights: how the campaign was conducted; and subsequent fall-outs from its results. First, the campaign’s unique strangeness is stressed, and descriptions are provided of how the principal political parties—including the newly formed Brexit Party led by Nigel Farage—conducted it. Secondly, the chapter spells out six major consequences of the election results for the fortunes and leaderships of the participating political parties, which, in conjunction with the country’s general election campaign a few months later, transformed the British party system.

The article analyses the communication factors that led up and contributed to General Pinochet’s coup against Salvador Allende’s Popular Unity government in Chile in September 1973. Empirically based on interviews held with Chilean politicians and journalists in autumn 1972 and a content analysis of changes in key newspapers’ political coverage between 1970 and 1973, lessons and warnings for communication roles in present-day liberal democracies are drawn from two features of this case: (1) intense political and media polarisation, and (2) challenges to and confusion over conventional journalistic norms. The possibilities and difficulties of overcoming the resulting problems are canvassed in the article’s conclusion.

Finally, it itemizes what main contributions uses and gratifications research has made to the field of journalism studies.

... In essence, entertainment is defined as something enjoyable or pleasurable that holds their attention for the time the entertaining object or occasion is perceived (Stebbins, 2007;Vorderer, 2001). In communication science, entertainment and information factors are an essential function of television media and education (Blumler & Nossiter, 1991;Holtz-Bacha & Norris, 2001;Maulana & Fatmawati, 2018). But interestingly, the FGD participants in this study placed the educational aspect in fourth place, even though they often discussed the need for television stations to have educational value in their television programs. ...

... The regulations in Germany did not allow any private TV stations in the beginning of 1980s. The first private TV station in Germany was PKS (Programmgesellschaft für Kabel-und Satellitenrundfunk), which started broadcasting on the January 1, 1984 but, as a cable TV channel, it was only available to around 1200 households in the cities of Ludwigshafen and Munich [26]. A year later, it was renamed Sat 1, the name under which it still operates today. ...

... The most common form for its financing in Western countries, the licence fee, was already described more than 50 years ago as 'logical', 'more eqitable than the alternatives' and potentially 'easily adjustable' to changing circumstances, yet 'politically impossible' because it is 'generally unpopular' (Coase 1966). Ideological, political, economic and transnational pressures have been noted to influence changes in public broadcasting financing policy incurred by changes in technology dictating a constant need for reevaluation (Blumler and Nossiter 1991). Most recently, different countries have chosen different paths to meet the challenge of new media: Sweden by extending the fee to more devices than just radio and television, the Netherlands, by transitioning to support from the state budget, the UK by significantly lowering the fee, and Germany and Finland by replacing the fee with an 'excise tax' collected from all citizens (Herzog and Karppinen 2014). ...

... Schlesinger, 1987). In reciprocal models, the relationship between sources and journalists is described as a process of exchange and ongoing social relationship, in which the gathering of information is not a single event but the result of complex interactions between the two actors (Blumler & Gurevitch, 1981). This process of "finding the truth" is described as epistemology of news reporting, which is defined by rules and routines that operate within a social setting, and determines how journalists obtain their knowledge (Ekström, 2002). ...

... Furthermore, this chapter contributes to current debates in digital politics by exploring the intersection of technology and political attitudes. It demonstrates how digital platforms and online spaces serve as catalysts for political engagement and ideological development (i.e., Chadwick, 2017;Coleman and Blumler, 2009). ...

... Precisely, the last one is a very important section considering that the preferred means of communication for monitoring this type of information, especially during electoral periods, continues to be television (Blumler, Thoveron, & Cayrol, 1978;Martínez-Pandiani, 2006). Supporting this idea, Holgado (2003) remarks the fundamental role played by the media in the transmission of electoral information, so that citizens can exercise their right to vote freely and rationally (p. ...

... For this reason, the endeavour of archiving isiXhosa written materials requires institutions whose muscles can gather the body of documentary materials that have been produced by isiXhosa language speakers or those that are versed in the language. It must further be argued that digital resources provide an opportunity for improved preservation and access to isiXhosa materials, but also new challenges when it comes to who has access to this information, how the materials are categorised, used, and how to best safeguard indigenous rights associated with their content, including rights of privacy and dissemination (Blumler and Coleman 2021). With that in mind, it is clear then that issues surrounding the isiXhosa language and archiving require attention. ...

... Klasyczne modele komunikowania politycznego uwzględniają co prawda obywateli jako jeden z kluczowych elementów procesu przepływu informacji politycznej (Wolton 1990;Blumer, Gurevitch 1995;Rush 1992;Perloff 1998;Negrine 2008;McNair 2018), ale traktują publiczność mediów jako "słabe ogniwo" w porównaniu z aktorami politycznymi i mediami (Adamczewska 2023, s. 89). Obywatele postrzegani są w tych modelach komunikowania politycznego zwykle jako ci, którzy nie mają ani zaplecza personalnego, ani finansowego i organizacyjnego, by wpływać istotnie na zawartość przekazów politycznych i ich dystrybucję (Dobek -Ostrowska 2012, s. 194). ...

... It ranges from traditional forms of mass media communications, such as newspapers, magazines, radio and TV, and more recent digital formats, such as online news portals and social networks, which expose readers to different types of information, including news, whether readers actively seek it, or not (De Zuniga et al., 2017). Research on modern national, local, and hyperlocal media shows that new digital media formats do not fully replace more traditional media but rather change them (Coleman et al., 2016;Taipale et al., 2021). A summary of the usage of key media sources in the EU and Latvia is provided in Table 1. ...
