Recenzje

Gattermann argues that the personalization of European politics makes voters more receptive to political information, that voters are more likely to adopt media logic in European affairs, and that voters prefer personalized political news. Methodologically, the book uses longitudinal and cross-country comparative research design as well as experimental design conducted in three European countries. The style of presentation is academic, with abundant use of specialized vocabulary.
