Political Humor in a Changing Media Landscape : A New Generation of Research, Paperback / softback Book

Political Humor in a Changing Media Landscape : A New Generation of Research Paperback / softback

Edited by Jody C Baumgartner, Amy B. Becker

Part of the Lexington Studies in Political Communication series

Paperback / softback

Description

In the past decade various studies have examined how political humor may influence various political attitudes and voting behavior; whether it affects learning, cognition and media literacy, how it might shape political participation; how people process different forms of political humor; and more.

This book is devoted to anticipating and addressing where the field of political humor and its effects will move in the next generation of scholarship, exploring the continued evolution of the study of political humor as well as the normative implications of these developments.

It includes research accounting for important changes and developments "on the ground" in the political humor landscape.

These include the fact that the cadre of late-night television hosts have completely changed in the past 3 years; there are now more late night television choices; and many hosts have become more overtly political in their presentations.

Recommended for scholars of communication, media studies, and political science.
