Between democracy and authoritarian leadership
Perceived political incivility and trust in government
While extensive research has shown that political incivility can lead to unfavorable democratic outcomes, our understanding of the dynamics in election campaigns is limited. The current study investigates the effects of perceived political incivility on trust in government by taking into account both informational and motivational factors during elections: the distinct channels through which individuals receive election news (institutional, socia…
When campaigns go on the attack
The Limits of Computational Propaganda
Campaign Deepfakes and Affective Polarization
Does exposure to news about out-party campaigns’ increasing use of deepfakes further increase polarization among partisans, and how does this impact vary among different evaluations of political coalitions, parties, and leaders? What role does approval for candidates’ usage of AI play as a moderator in this relationship? This paper examines these questions using data from a survey experiment ( N = 1627), in which each respondent exposed to a news…
Constructing the Muslim “other”
This paper analyzes the representation of Indian Muslims in national news coverage during the COVID-19 pandemic. By deploying Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), the paper examines how hegemonic news discourses in four Indian daily newspapers published in English and Hindi constructed the image of a Muslim “other” across various discursive moments in relation to the news coverage of a Tablighi Jamaat (TJ) congregation and its link to the spread of…
Do political elite endorsements influence online mobilization? A study of Twitter behavior in Narendra Modi’s 2019 election campaigns
Modern campaigns increasingly rely on social media to influence voters, with Twitter offering affordances that enable direct communication between politicians and the public. However, scholars remain divided over the effectiveness of engaging ordinary Twitter users for mobilizing support online. This article seeks to address this issue by examining whether endorsements from political elites influence the tweeting behavior of ordinary users. Using…
Does trust in government moderate the perception towards deepfakes? Comparative perspectives from Asia on the risks of AI and misinformation for democracy
Personalization of politics through visuals
Visual messaging is a cornerstone of campaign strategies of political parties and candidates that can complement and amplify the effects of the written/spoken word. Through a thematic analysis of the Facebook ads of the two main political parties during the 2021 West Bengal assembly elections in India, this paper shows the interplay of identity, ideology, and gender in the visual communication strategies of political parties on Facebook as they t…
The Influence of Sexism and Incivility in WhatsApp Political Discussions on Affective Polarization
In contemporary political discourse, the concern of affective polarization, often fueled by uncivil and sexist discourse, is notably evident in digital communication contexts like WhatsApp. In this study, we examined the potential effects of uncivil and sexist messages as well as moderator interventions against these messages coming from political in- and out-group members in such political groups through a survey experiment ( N = 1,464) fielded …
The effect of information seeking behaviour on trust in AI in Asia
Public opinion on new technologies, like artificial intelligence (AI), is influenced by media coverage. However, it remains unclear as to what extent seeking news and information about AI on legacy media as opposed to social media can shape trust in AI. A cross-national survey conducted across Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore and India investigated the impact of information seeking behaviour on trust in AI, as well as the moderating role of concern…
Understanding user interactions and perceptions of AI risk in Singapore
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly prevalent and its application highly sophisticated. Concerns about AI's vulnerabilities and future threats have, however, long been debated among scientists and the tech community. By integrating Beck's theory of risk society with an audience-centered sense-making approach, we seek to understand the effects of AI on the general public's daily lives and their concerns when they adopt AI technol…
Motivated Mobilization
This study investigates how exposure to favorable messages about one's preferred party can affect emotional reactions and subsequent behavioral intentions. Integrating the motivated reasoning and discrete emotions’ frameworks, we offer a theoretical framework of motivated mobilization for explaining political engagement in response to poll exposure. Specifically, we examine the mediating role of emotions in the relationship between motivated asse…
Political Trust, Democratic Satisfaction, and Partisanship
How does economic hardship during a crisis affect people’s evaluation of the political leadership? In this paper, we investigate how the negative impact of an exogenous event like COVID-19 interacts with other important phenomena which influence leadership approval, such as partisanship, political trust, and satisfaction with democracy. Using a nationally representative survey in Indonesia (N = 1,200), we show that economic hardship does not unif…
Who Gets Exposed to Political Misinformation in a Hybrid Media Environment? The Case of the 2019 Indonesian Election
In the wake of the US 2016 Presidential Election, concerns about misinformation traversing on social media have heightened. Since then, much of the public discourse has been on developing effective strategies to combat the spread of misinformation online. While several studies have focused on the effects of a mixed/hybrid regime of information channels on political participation and campaigns, we know little about how the existence of a hybrid me…
Was the 2019 Indian election won by digital media
Research on the reasons for the unexpected outcome of the 2019 national election in India can be divided into two strands: one strand examines the election without recourse to media, arguing that the appeals by parties to different segments of the population, referred to as identity politics, swayed voters. The other strand has made the case that media campaigns, and digital media in particular, were decisive in shaping the electoral outcome. Amo…
Misinformation Concerns and Online News Participation among internet Users in India
The rise of misinformation often circulated in various social media platforms has not only raised concerns among the policymakers and civil society groups, but also among citizens. Drawing upon a cross-sectional survey ( n = 1,013) among English-language internet users in India, this paper tries to identify factors that affect concerns for online misinformation among citizens and how online news participation is affected by the rise of misinforma…
Communication and technology theories from the South
This paper takes an alternative approach to understanding theory as description. New theoretical propositions and knowledge practices need to grow out of the comparisons between descriptions, especially comparisons between the Southern cases. Using China and India as two cases, this paper reviews the descriptions of communication technology in the two countries and compares the descriptions. Through such comparisons, the paper concludes that the …
Political Communication and Mobilisation
This book provides a fresh perspective on the importance of the Hindi media in India's political, social and economic transformation with evidence from the countryside and the cities. Accessed by more than forty percent of the public, it continues to play an important role in building political awareness and mobilising public opinion. Instead of viewing the media as a singular entity, this book highlights its diversity and complexity to understan…
Campaigns, Digital Media, and Mobilization in India
Early research in western contexts finds evidence of online participation leading to political engagement. We test this hypothesis in a nonwestern campaign context. We discuss India’s complex “hybrid media system,” political parties, leaders, and issues in the 2014 national election that saw more use of digital information channels by all parties, and more so by the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the young Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) than …
Democratic Transformation and the Vernacular Public Arena in India
Complementary and Competitive Logics of Mediatization
In this article, we have sought to develop a theoretical framework for understanding the “mediatization” of politics that is of general applicability while seeking to apply that framework to India, thereby extending the reach of the concept geographically beyond the West. Theoretically, we reject the idea that media logic and political logic are involved in a zero-sum game (where less of one necessarily means more of the other) and instead develo…
Media, Mediation and the Vernacular Public Arena in India
This article analyses the rise of the vernacular public arena in India and the ways in which various media have contributed to the mediation of the multiplicity of the vernacular and the universality of the public. With increasing access by different social groups to various media, space opens up for the participation of the wider public in the activities of the mediated public arena. The participation of a multitude of publics in market-driven m…

Cultural imperialism or vernacular modernity? Hindi newspapers in a globalizing India
The theory of cultural/media imperialism has received great scholarly attention, especially after the Frankfurt School’s characterization of mass media as a tool of ‘mass deception’, which works for commercialized interests (Horkheimer and Adorno, 1972). It argues that there is a domination of American-based cultural flow carried through media, particularly in developing countries, which has not only resulted in cultural homogenization, but also …

State, Citizenship and Religious Community
Thos article argues that granting citizenship rights to the minorities cannot help to instil a sense of confidence in them to participate as equal citizens in the public sphere. Rather the state has to create necessary conditions both through institutional mechanisms as well as through creating a democratic and egalitarian environment where those rights can be enjoyed. A liberal democracy can accommodate both individual as well as group rights an…

Transnational Media And Contoured Markets
Global Myth vs. Local Reality
Islamic militancy in the form of armed protests against established regimes prevails in many parts of the world, notably in West Asia and North Africa. These movements owe much more to socio-political and economic factors rather than to religious factors, but it has led many to conclude that Islam is inherently radicalizing and orients Muslims towards militancy. This paper argues that Islam is neither monolithic, nor does it prescribe a single co…
