The book is divided into the three broad fields of business, politics and media, ensuring the interdisciplinary nature of the volume. Every contribution provides the state of the art of the respective field as well as most relevant theoretical frameworks, a discussion of methodologies and some empirical examples. The book addresses students and researchers in various fields of the Social Sciences.
