The observance of democratic principles is clearly not enough to stop populism. The paper is aimed at answering the question: why is this so? To understand this phenomenon one should see it as an instrument of manipulation applied to political discourse by extremist politicians, which becomes their style of making politics. Although democratic procedures can be used by such politicians to obtain high positions in the political realm, their further activities usually violate at least some of those procedures. The further arguments of the paper show that, behind its democratic surface, populism as a style of making politics is simply a corrupted form of democracy and the media play a very ambivalent role in this process.

Psychographics, Social Emotions and New Forms of Political Communication
 
The development of social media in recent years has radically transformed the public sphere and, along with it, forms of political communication. Unfortunately, it seems that the current institutional order is not sufficiently adapted to the challenges posed by the saturation of social relations mediated by digital technologies. The recent years are full of examples of the lack of adequacy of existing solutions to revolutionary technological changes. This primarily concerns the Internet, which one’s rapid development has created a specific ecosystem that enabled the development of several highly influential platforms. Global social media enable creation and proliferation of knowledge in a vast, globally crosslinked and interrelated information environment. Such a situation creates many possibilities that are potentially conducive to public debate, but on the other hand it raises substantive and substantiated questions about the manner and rules according to which this information circuit is carried out. There is much evidence that social control based solely on traditional ethical canons is no longer sufficient. The public discourse loses signs of Habermasian rationality and is increasingly colonized by political actors who do not hesitate to manipulate public opinion and influence social emotions on a massive scale.

When Does the Event Become the News? Gatekeeping and Selection of Information Sources in Communication on the European Union 
 
The aim of this article is to present the process of selecting information on the subject of the European Union by the Polish journalists. For the purpose of the study the assumption has been made that the most important factors that the Polish journalists would point to when selecting the information are the validity of the information, its connection with Poland or Polish people, if the information relates to Poland or the Polish people, the significance of the information (influence on lives of ordinary citizens) and the medium specificity. In-depth interviews with journalists led to the verification of hypothesis. The respondents named the above mentioned criteria for selecting information, but also pointed to other factors. The journalists also prioritized the criteria for selecting information differently. What they found important was the type of prepared materials, the specificity of the medium they work with and the position they have.

The European Union as the Anti-value. The European Narratives in the Communication of the Polish Extreme Right
 
Rejection of the idea of the United Europe promoted by the European Union is the most common ideological pillar of the entire European extreme right movements. It does not mean, however, that these movements reject the pan-European cooperation since the extreme right groups are highly connected and cooperate on various international levels. In consequence, through the multilateral transfers of ideas, political programs, visions, and attitudes they create specific ideological offers and solutions. The main aim of this article is to reconstruct the image of the Europe and the European Union in the communication of the Polish extreme right. On the basis of the publications excerpted from the unofficially printed zines from 1990. and selected online publications published on the Polish extreme right websites within the period 2000–2010 the author tries to discover what kind of image of Europe and the EU predominates in communication of the extreme right, and what kind of alternatives for the idea of the United Europe have been promoted by the nationalist movements. The author uses methods and techniques of the corpus linguistics and refers to the constructivist theories of communication and the concept of the linguistic image of the world.

European Concept of E-government in the Light of the Indicators of the European Commission
 
The concept of electronic government developed by the European Union is a proposal to help counter the continual changing trends in the technological revolution. The idea is to create a unified, inter-operable and cross-border communications platform that will give every EU citizen the opportunity to use e-government services at equal level. The purpose of this article is to try to verify the findings of the European Union with empirical data by showing the actual degree of development of the concept.

The present paper uncovers the intellectual history and present of the communication and media studies and its thematic and paradigmatic foci based on content analysis of articles dealing with communication topics in social scientific and communication/media journals published in Croatia between 1969 and 2011. The sample includes 481 articles, constructed from all full original articles published in odd years starting in 1969, dealing with communication and media topics in the most important social scientific journals: Naše teme and Kulturni radnik (both discontinued in 1990), Politička misao, Revija za sociologiju, Društvena istraživanja, and Informatologia, and all full original articles in the academic journals devoted exclusively to media and communication studies (all of them established after 1990) – Medijska istraživanja, Medianali, and Medijske studije. The article finds a growth in volume, and diversification of topics, theories, paradigmatic approaches and methodologies in communication and media studies in Croatia, with modest improvement in scientific quality in terms of the increased use of theory and empirical research. Similarities as well as differences are identified in relation to European and US disciplinary developments in the periods of socialism and democracy.

Selfies at Horror Sites: Dark Tourism, Ghoulish Souvenirs and Digital Narcissism
 
Taking self-portraits at horror sites, like concentration camps, Ground Zero or disaster stricken areas, has become a growing trend on social networking sites. The paper aims to discuss the cultural phenomenon of macabre selfies in the light of dark tourism and digital narcissism. Horror covered in the media becomes an attractive background for the ultimate selfies which are a teenagers’ way of celebrating life in places of death. These sometimes humorous self-portraits are ghoulish souvenirs providing emotional detachment, and at the same time a link to a greater media narrative. The interdisciplinary study is rooted in photography research, cultural and memory studies, and digital media research. The paper discusses the relationships of dark tourism and the media, kitschy souvenirs and digital memorialization of traumatic events.
