Citizens, Europe and the Media
Description
Reviews / Votes
"Conti and Memoli make a very compelling argument that citizens' attitudes towards the European Union are affected by their media diets and that social media may be contributing to the diffusion of Eurosceptic views. This is a path-breaking contribution and a must-read for anyone who is interested in media effects and the future of European integration." (Prof Cristian Vaccari, Royal Holloway University of London, UK and University of Bologna, Italy)
"This valuable and insightful book investigates the relationship of public Euroscepticism to media. They show that with the advent of "Web 2.0", the first generations of 'netizens' and social networkers have been more inclined to negative sentiments regarding the EU, a fascinating but disturbing phenomenon that has significant implications and consequences for the future of the European Union." (Prof Kenneth Benoit, London School of Economics, UK)
