This book analyzes the relationship between media and politics in Portugal, through the three electoral events that took place in the country in 2009. It reflects on standardized strategies of campaign and coverage, transversal to the various electoral moments, and also points out new trends that were drawn in the elections of that year, and that made them unique from the previous ones, without excluding the interconnection between the national context and the international contingencies that marked them indelibly. The book brings together work by nine researchers, from different schools of communication, and various parts of the country. Studies on digital campaigns, journalistic coverage, electoral debates, the construction of gender in campaigning, political humor, young people, and the consumption of politics, among other themes, are collected here. This is a room for academic debate, which also aims to communicate with others interested in media and journalism - instances, simultaneously, much debated and little known in Portuguese society. This book aims to contribute to a deeper and more complex understanding of the relationship between media and politics in Portugal.
