[Air-L] Media Studies and the American Electorate

[Klobucar, Philip Andrew]

There are currently several very vibrant list discussions looking at
critical theories and analyses of social media and its role in the 2016
American election. My general question follows directly from these
dialogues: can anyone provide references or thoughts on published articles,
chapters, etc. looking at the relationship of ideological/cultural populism
to mass culture industries and social media? Any critical work, for
example, that seeks to understand how the culture industries help build
populist sensibilities within a culture? Perhaps in relation to more
traditional working class, labour-oriented ideologies?

Thanks,
A
