year = {2018},
note = {To understand populism, it is crucial to understand populist political
communication. We investigate how politicians across the political
spectrum employ populist communication in different
non-institutionalized communication arenas. Populism is defined as a
thin ideology and three dimensions of populist communication are
distinguished: people-centrism, anti-elitism, and exclusion. We
analyze politicians’ statements in talk shows and social media
(Twitter and Facebook) in four Western democracies. The analysis shows
that populist communication is context-dependent and that the use of
the three dimensions varies across political systems, media channels,
and party types.},
