Medioznawstwo jako przedmiot badań w zakresie nauk o polityce

Abstract

Studies on mass media and communication processes in the context of political studies have been flourishing since the 1950s. Relations between politics and media have become more and more complicated with a social change evoked by a communication revolution of the new media. New information and communication technologies have also brought about a significant increase in a number of senders and receivers of TV transmission on a large scale. Such phenomena and processes as globalization, formation of great media concerns codependent of economic and political forces, Internet expansion, communication interactivity, global television network, and 24-hour information channel have largely influence the processes of political communication.
