Recenzje

"This volume, with its comparative multidisciplinary analyses, is a precious instrument for any scholar interested in political discourse analysis or journalistic discourse and provides a clear overview of mediated political communication in Europe. The qualitative approach adopted is especially helpful in presenting an in-depth outline of the main phenomena at stake." (Maria Ivana Lorenzetti, Iperstoria, Issue 4, 2019)
