This edited collection brings together leading international scholars to explore the connection
between Brexit and the media. The referendum and the activism on both sides of the campaign
have been of significant interest to the media in the UK and around the world. How these
factors have been represented in the media and the role of the media in constructing the
referendum narrative are central to assisting the development in our understanding of how UK
and global democracy is being manifested in contemporary times. This book explores these topics
through presenting a wide range of perspectives from research conducted by leading
international scholars and concludes with an assessment of the potential democratic and
international implications for the future. By grappling with a highly important and
controversial topic in a comparative and varied way the volume contributes to theoretical
debates about the nature and role of the media in complex social political and cultural
contexts.
