ABSTRACT
Contemporary political communication exacts seeking new areas of public presence
of politicians. Women’s magazines have become one of the most promising channel
of political communication because of reasons which are discussed in the article.
The author argues that the growing importance of the press is an effect of political
marketing (personalization and celebrization of politics), commercialization of the
media (tabloidization of journalism), as well as changing expectations of audiences which are fragmented and uninterested in politics. These processes result in
growing importance of the media which are not directly associated with politics.
Politicians’ presence in the women’s magazines leads to intimization of political
journalism creating new conditions of building political persona.
