Document Summary
Robertson talks two types of power causal and strategic. Power is what you exercise through acting. A can make binding decisions on b. Second dimension is if a can block b"s ability to get on agenda. Third dimension is when a can control b by shaping b"s perception of reality. Political elites engage in intentional forms of communication- content is explicitly political in nature ex- talk about trade policies and they intentionally influence your babs. Trudeau can"t remember all the canadian players, staged. Trudeau snowboarding in whistler, in an interview he said it"s the rcmp"s problem, that"s his image, i"m open, i"m hip. Kennedy was shot but secret service took the blame. Journalists are explicit unintentional forms of political communication, explicitly messaging about political content.
