Overview
About the course
The Communications, Media and Public Policy course at King's College London also provides a theoretical and empirical exploration of the changing power dynamics of the media and communications industry in the context of the so-called post truth era.
We will examine how policymakers successfully navigate the twenty-first century influence industry and explains how the influence industry works, how it affects and can also distort policy.
We will also examine the issue of ‘post truth’ politics and its impact on policymaking, adopting both a philosophical lens and a more practical one on how policymakers can operate in this new dynamic environment.
