This volume offers a variety of research perspectives on political journalism and its reporting. The contributions show different methodological approaches for the analysis. The patterns of political journalism are predominantly outlined in a hybrid and digital media context. One focus is directly on journalists in social media. Several contributions shed light on mediation constellations and provide information on changes in the relationship to politics and the audience. The volume is aimed at researchers, teachers and students in the field of journalism research and political communication research.
