Report title in the original language

Beyond anger: the populist radical right on TikTok

Description:

The study examines how populist radical right parties and leaders use TikTok as a platform for strategic political communication aimed particularly at younger voters. It analyses visual de-demonisation and positive emotional appeals, showing how radical right actors adapt their messaging to the affordances of short-form video platforms and use optimistic or value-based content to reshape their public image.
