Often reduced to the role of sensationalist gossipmongers, online tabloids are a vital source of political news for the public. This book offers a deep dive into Pudelek, Mail Online, and Gawker coverage of 2015-2016 political campaigns in Poland, the United Kingdom, and the United States, where votes led to major populist shifts. Thanks to a close study of news stories, anonymous comments under articles, and interviews with online-tabloid journalists, Helena Chmielewska-Szlajfer exposes the emotional public sphere of comment sections, as well as the key tabloid “(not) kidding” frame: ambiguous, reactive to readers, and shielding online tabloids from accusations of deteriorating democracy.

"(Not) Kidding: Politics in Online Tabloids represents a significant contribution to the fields of media studies and political communication and opens up new avenues for further research in these fields. Chmielewska-Szlajfer’s well-crafted and empirically-rich work provides a timely analysis of the relationship between tabloids, emotions, and political engagement. By challenging established views on the nature of political discourse, this book serves as an essential resource for scholars, journalists, and students interested in the evolving landscape of political communication in the digital age."- Janica Ezzeldien, LSE Review of Books, September 16th, 2024
