<p><strong>â<i>The Psychology of Political Communicators</i> provides a timely and strong set of comparative research studies that analyze how rhetorical political appeals to reason and emotion are challenging liberal democratic societies. The contributors seek to explain a variety of current topics including the rise of populism, Donald Trumpâs victory, gender discrimination in media, media ownership and trust. Tackling these controversial political and social trends, the volume is organized around three elements of political communication: political discourse and its cultural contexts, politicians in their roles as communicators, and the changing media environment. The chapters help us to understand the crucial and dynamic role of political communicators in shaping preferences and making meaning of the disruptive political world.â</strong></p><p>â<i>Ann Crigler, University of Southern California</i></p>
