| Introduction | We are the publishing branch of EMPOWERVERSE Centre for Critical Media Psychology, an independent research platform dedicated to interdisciplinary analysis of how media discourse shapes psychological experience, public understanding, and democratic life. Drawing on Critical Discourse Analysis, social psychology, political psychology, and communication studies, we produce rigorous, evidence-based scholarship on media language, cognitive immunity, misinformation, authoritarian rhetoric, and democratic resilience. Our work is aligned with the research priorities of Horizon Europe's Cluster 2 (Culture, Creativity and Inclusive Society). |
