Votes for Brexit and Trump, along with widespread political volatility, are not only causing turmoil; they are signs that many long-predicted tipping points in media and politics have been reached. Such changes have worrying implications for democracies everywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this text, Aeron Davis bridges old and new to map the shifts and analyse what they mean for our aging democracies.

How is social media rapidly rewriting the rules? And why do some democratic leaders look more like dictators, and pollsters and economists more like fortune tellers? These questions and more are addressed in the book.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePolitical Communication: A New Introduction for Crisis Times \u003c\/i\u003e both introduces and challenges the established literature.
