A long tradition of research focuses on conversation as a key catalyst for community integration and a focal mediator of media influence on participation. Changes in media systems, political environments, and electoral campaigning demand that these influences, and the communication mediation model, be revised to account for the growing convergence of media and conversation, heightened partisan polarization, and deepening social contentiousness in media politics. We propose a revised communication mediation model that continues to emphasize the centrality of face-to-face and online talk in democratic life, while considering how mediational and self-reflective processes that encourage civic engagement and campaign participation might also erode institutional legitimacy, foster distrust and partisan divergence, disrupting democratic functioning as a consequence of a new communication ecology.

修订新的政治传播生态学的传播中介模型

悠久的研究传统着眼于对话，这是社区融合的主要催化剂，也是媒体对参与影响的主要中介。媒体系统，政治环境和选举活动的变化要求对这些影响以及传播调解模型进行修订，以解决媒体和对话日益融合，党派两极分化加剧以及媒体政治中的社会争议加深的问题。我们提出了一种经过修订的沟通调解模型，该模型将继续强调在民主生活中面对面和在线交谈的中心性，同时考虑到鼓励公民参与和竞选活动的调解和自我反思过程也可能会削弱机构的合法性，加剧不信任感和党派分歧，
