This panel explores how media environments and political communication practices shape representation and democratic legitimacy. It examines how citizens perceive political lying and its implications for trust in representative institutions; how visual and lifestyle cues in digital media construct images of ideology and populism; and how party ambiguity shapes issue competition beyond electoral strategies. It further investigates how entertainment-driven platforms, search engines, and aggressive rhetoric influence political attitudes, selective exposure, and even support for violence. Together, these studies highlight the entanglement of media, representation, and citizen engagement in sustaining, or challenging, the foundations of democracy.
