Publishing engaging and innovative books, this interdisciplinary series explores the complex and vexed relationship between journalism and democracies past and present, in local, regional, national, and transnational contexts. Projects in the series address a range of issues, including the role of new technologies in reshaping public discourse and civic life; problems of propaganda and government secrecy in the past and in the digital era; changing relationships between press, public, and state; the rise of illiberal populism and its threat to liberal democracy; and commercialism and the concentration of corporate media power.
