Telepresidents. An Inquiry into a Presidential Campaign (eBook)

This book is a vivid exploration into a battlefield: the 2009 Romanian presidential elections. Media overexposure of candidates and its consequences for the political field are thoroughly analyzed with rigorous methods. The book represents a useful academic tool and also a reference for all political communication practitioners. “What remains after a research study on the electoral campaign? … First, the feeling of a finished journey remains: a journey that concludes both the presidential campaign and the research of this book. As several journalists confessed in the interviews we conducted, the end of the campaign brought the acute feeling that we will never be the same again. Similarly, the end of our research brings the feeling of perspective, of a point of reference for potential research on this topic in the future.”
