About this book
Reviews
“Trump and the media are a paradox: On the one hand, Trump makes use of Twitter like no other president, on the other hand, he positions himself sharper than ever against critical media. In a highly sophisticated way, the contributions in this volume open the eyes to this media paradox of Trump’s presidency.” (Andreas Hepp, Professor, ZeMKI, University of Bremen, Germany)
