Definition
- Walter Lippmann (1922) made it clear that people do not directly experience most political affairs but rather respond to the representations of politics produced by journalists. Long before Lippmann, Niccolò Machiavelli (1513) argued that, to most people, politics is more about appearances than substance. [Source: Encyclopedia of Political Communication; Image, Political]
