- The old meets the new: “old” political communication concepts in a “‘new” social media eraPublication . Salgado, Susana; Biscaia, Afonso; Papathanassopoulos, StylianosIn this introductory chapter, we explain the rationale of the edited book and delve into the changes that social media have been provoking in political communication and political communication research. The book brings together contributions of renowned scholars who look into some of the most pivotal political communication concepts and reflect on whether and how the new media environ ments and social media have affected these concepts. Potential changes in theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches are considered, as well as reflections on how to encompass such new realities (e.g., growing disruptive communication and incivility, disinformation, trans-national networks) in political communication research in an environment of further erosion of trust in institutional authorities.
