Within its thematic framework it focuses primarily on the transformation of political communication, exploring particularly the role of the new media and their potential for political and civic participation. This research agenda responds to the growing need for a systematic academic reflection on the influence of digital technologies and social networks on the rapidly changing nature of interactions between the public, political representation and democratic institutions, as well as on the forms of engagement of the public in the political process within the democratic society. In addition to this, the group also conducts research on the changing organizational aspects of news media production and journalism as a profession under the impact of the new media. These general research goals are being met by means of particular research projects carried out by the members of the PolCoRe group, as well as in cooperation with international partners and research networks (such as COST) http://polcore.fsv.cuni.cz/ Show less
