(2013) In Javnost 20(2). p.47-66- Abstract
- The media landscape and its societal significance is in rapid transition; likewise basic features of democracy are changing.

The first section takes up political engagement and situates it within the changing character of democracy. The second section is focused on the media and dynamics of mediatisation, underscoring their significance for democratic participation. In the third section we provide the foundations for a research agenda on mediatisation and democratic participation. (Less)
