| description |
This article deals with "the transformation of visibility" in political discourse
on and representation of politics and politicians in resent Dansih television
documentaries. Drawing on the theories of Habermas, Meyrowitz and
John B. Thompson, it is argued that the political persona on television is
moved closer to the individual citizen, creating a sort "mediated quasi-inter-
action" giving mediated communication a stronger element of face-to-face
interaction. Together with the more pervasive "live" coverage of politics
and politicians, this expands media coverage to both the backstage of
political processes and the private and personal backstage of politicians,
changing the form of democracy and public debate. |
