Like the vote for Brexit in the UK, there seemed to be a new de-synchronicity ? a huge reality gap ? between the unfolding of history and the mainstream news media?s interpretations of and reporting of contemporary events. Through a series of short, sharp interventions from academics and journalists, this book interrogates the emergent media war around Donald Trump. A series of interconnected themes are used to set an agenda for exploration of Trump as the lynch-pin in the fall of the liberal mainstream and the rise of the right media mainstream in the USA. By exploring topics such as Trump?s television celebrity, his presidential candidacy and data-driven election campaign, his use of social media, his press conferences and combative relationship with the mainstream media, and the question of ?fake news? and his administration?s defence of ?alternative facts?, the contributors rally together to map the parallels of the seemingly momentous and continuing shifts in the wider relationship between media and politics. 606 $aCommunication in politics$zUnited States 606 $aMass media$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States 606 $aSocial media$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States 606 $aFake news$zUnited States 615 0$aCommunication in politics 615 0$aMass media$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aSocial media$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aFake news 676 $a302.230973 702 $aHapper$b Catherine$f1973- 702 $aHoskins$b Andrew$f1967- 702 $aMerrin$b William 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484835103321 996 $aTrump?s Media War$92847850 997 $aUNINA
