What is the relationship between political power and media? To what extent is the rhetorical strategies in a society due to the media landscape? How can new communication technologies affect the political game rules?

We study the impact of new communication technologies such as writing, print and broadcasting on rhetoric, and we critically discuss rhetorical strategies and propaganda used by politicians and potentates.
