| Abstract [eng] |
Political communication is an interactive process concerning the transmission of information among politicians, the news media, and the public. We can identify three distinct stages in the evolution of political communications – premodern, modern and pastmodern, which simultaneously transformed political organizations, the news media and the electorate. In the premodern stage, much political communication was subordinate to relatively strong and stable political institutions and beliefs. In the modern, faced with a more mobile electorate, the parties increasingly professionalized and adapted their communications to the news values and formats of limited-channel television. Postmodern – still emerging stage of political manipulation with media abundance. Political manipulation is a type of message aimed at influencing the opinions or behavior of people. Often, instead of impartially providing information, political manipulation can be deliberately misleading, or use fallacies, which, while sometimes convincing, are not necessarily valid. The object of this master job is manipulation in political communication. The main goal of this master job: to analyse the process of manipulation in political communication and explore specific tools of manipulation. The main problem of political communication is that politicians no longer formulate their policies on grounds of principle and rational argument, but do so in consideration of the perceived need to “play well” in the media, and to please of public opinion. In other words we can say that politicians trying to manipulate on the political communication stage. The main conclusion of this job: how often people come to know about manipulation of politicians and news media, how often they are exposed and themselves become part of the evidence and information on which people make their political judgements. |
