This project examines an emergent series of tactics used by political actors (i.e. politicians, lobbyists, political groups, etc.) that we are calling 'Dark Political Communication' (DPC). DPC differs markedly from existing, well-established modes of political communication, as it often involves the deliberate spread of disinformation, use of highly inflammatory language, antagonism towards the press and democratic institutions, as well as actions that seek to exacerbate social discord. In this project, we will provide the first-ever complete account of DPC tactics, and provide a series of recommendations to journalists about how their practice can best evolve to address this novel communication paradigm.

该项目研究了政治行为者（即政治家，游说者，政治团体等）使用的一系列策略。我们称之为“黑暗政治沟通”（DPC）。DPC与现有的、成熟的政治沟通模式明显不同，因为它经常涉及故意传播虚假信息，使用高度煽动性的语言，对抗新闻界和民主机构，以及寻求加剧社会不和谐的行动。在这个项目中，我们将提供有史以来第一个完整的DPC策略，并提供一系列的建议，记者关于他们的实践如何才能最好地发展，以解决这个新的通信范式。
