Political journalismlecture2013
This is a lecture on how political journalism is changing in the UK (and with some international case studies) as communications become more networked. It shows that people are given more voice to question power but that there are limits on how much this is really changing politics or democracy. It uses the Clegg 'I'm sorry' episode to highlight the role of humour in this new environment.

In the first lecture I explained that journalism has traditionally had a role as the Fourth Estate in relation to mainstream politics. I showed that journalism has a particular set of functions in that democratic context of informing, deliberating and accountability. Journalism has many flaws, like politics, but the same things that people criticise in journalism can actually be its strengths.
I ended up by suggesting that the real problem for journalism - and politics in western democracies - is not the inherent failings of these trades but their increasing irrelevance to citizens. In other words, they are losing not authority but attention.
I showed that journalism and its relation to politics has changed over the centuries and more recently for technological, social and economic reasons. But it is arguable at least that journalism has never changed more than in the last couple of decades. What I want to set out today is some thoughts about how these changes might create a different kind of political journalism and ask what impact that might have for democracy itself.
I should say right at the beginning that I don’t know the answer because we are in the middle of this process. The pace of change is rapid. Facebook, which allegedly helped spark revolutions in the Arab world, is only just ten years old. By its very nature, media change self-represents itself in ways that are often unrepresentative of real changes. Much of the evaluation of media change is actually conditioned by people’s social, economic or political perspectives. It is relative, subjective and dynamic. A bit like politics.
Mediatisation of politics
This was a talk to George Washington University students about how the process of government and politics is becoming 'mediatised'. By that I mean that the process of creating and implementing policies, as well as reporting and deliberating upon politics, is becoming saturated in an unprecedented volume and variety of sources, platforms and content creators. This creates a kind of networked politics. This has good aspects and bad.

Social media
Sports, Business, Theatre or Drama; change seldom discriminates. It resonates in each and every walk of life. On the brink of a terrific change is Politics, courtesy the social media. Social media has rapidly grown as a forum for political discourse and activism. Its various platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Youtube etc. are providing a plethora of new ways to engage citizens in politics (Benkler, 2006). A great advantage inherent in social media is the possibility of personal, ie., one to one communication. Politicians as well as political parties are seemingly benefitting with this new found ability to reach out to their potential voters. It has become possible for politicians to reach voters in a well targeted manner without relying on the media as an intermediary (Gentle, 2012). Various reactions, messages, feedbacks and debates are generated online. In addition to this, support for offline causes of a political party are also generated through social media petitions

Topic: The Civil Rights Movement of 1964.
In 1964, the Civil Rights Act ended segregation in public places banning employment discrimination that was based on national origin, sex, religion, race or color. This is considered as one of the most crowning achievements as far as civil right movements are concerned. Despite the strong opposition from the southerners, it was signed into law by Lyndon B. Johnson who succeeded Kennedy. The topic is important to address since it played a vital role in the removal of the procedures and registration requirements that were biased against the underprivileged and minorities (Davis, 2016). Moreover, it also called for the nondiscrimination in fund distributions, public school desegregation as well as the broadening of Civil Rights Commission duties (Percy, 2018).

Brown, R. L. (2017). Accountability, liberty, and the Constitution. In Bills of Rights (pp. 49-98). Routledge.
In his article Brown (2017) asserts that political accountability in constitutional theory has been misunderstood. This has led to the contribution of the model that places majority rule at the center of constitutional legitimacy requiring special justification for departures. The model offers the start point for much of the modern constitutional theory in the sense that judicial review is branded as a “deviant” institution. History suggests that in America, representation was not designed as a means of people to take part in government but rather as a means for people protecting themselves from the representative government of their own. This explains the reason why people understand the principle of political accountability as a way to protect themselves. People are allowed to check abuse of power as well as overseeing a political structure.

In public administration, there has been an experience of absent or weak theoretical core (Rosenbloom, 2016). The paper found out that the main problem affecting the public administrative theory emanates from three disparate approaches as to what public administration really is. These approaches are labeled “legal,” “managerial,” and “political”. On public administration, they influence each other in the sense that they overlap following the pattern of the constitutional separation of powers. These approaches are not likely to be synthesized without having to violate the values ingrained deeply in the U.S culture of politics (Rosenbloom, 2016).

Effects of the Media on Politics
The media, through its primary role in communication, has always been at the heart of American society. Technological advancements in the recent past have changed how people consume information, increasing the accessibility to the media. One of the aspects of American society that has been impacted by the more accessible media is American politics. The media is now more visible in the political scene. For instance, according to a research by the Pew Research Center on the primary source of political information in the 2016 American Presidential elections, researchers found that 24% of the Americans that learned about the elections did so from cable news, 14% from local TV, 14% from social media, 13% from news websites/apps and 10% from network nightly news (Mitchell et al., 2016). In contrast, only 1% of the American voters relied on the candidate’s or campaign website (Mitchell et al., 2016). Therefore, the different streams of media are the primary source of information in the American political scene.
The primacy of the media as a source of political information comes with a range of both positive and negative impacts. This study examines the role that the media plays in American politics by asking the question; what is the utility of the media in American politics? This research shows that the media has significant positive and negative effects on the political discourse, political reputation, and political participation, but the opportunities for benefits seem to be outweighed by the potential for harm. While the media enriches the political discourse through fact-checking, builds a political reputation by connecting the politicians to their constituents and energizes democracy by stimulating political participation, it also has a polarizing effect on the political discourse, can be used for character assassination through fake news, and robs its users of the time they would have used to participate in the political process.
Literature Review
Effect of the media on political discourse
Scholars studying the role of the media in politics are divided about the value that the media brings to the political discourse in American politics. On one side, there are those that claim that the media has the overall effect of enriching the political discourse in American politics. One of the dominant views among scholars that subscribe to this position is that the media acts as a referee for the participants in the political discourse (including other media outlets) and keeps them accountable. In “The Effect of Fact-Checking on Elites: A Field Experiment on U.S. State Legislators,” Brendan Nyhan and Jason Reifler (2015) argue that the political discourse in a democratic society is enriched by the fact-checking practice of the media outlets. In a nutshell.
