＜概要/Course Content Summary＞
The media can and often do play a crucial role in policymaking. The key question is therefore to what extent the media influence the policy-making process. In the context of the post-truth era, traditional media have been confronted in recent years with a major upheaval that has given way to the spread of fake news and manipulation. Moreover, access to digital telecommunications tools has also led to profound changes not only in politics but also in society. The role of Facebook, Twitter and YouTube has accentuated a clear tendency to challenge the traditional mechanisms of representative democracy. From the various cases such as the manipulation of the American elections, the movement of yellow vests in France, there is no doubt that the relationship between people and information is radically changing. This course will examine the complex relationship between the media and policymaking actors, institutions and processes through a comprehensive survey of the research literature. The course aims to deepen understanding of the discourses in mediated political communication, knowledge of the policymaking processes, and the news media’s role and effects on these processes. The course will focus on recent political and societal developments, taking specific cases from different places around the world.
