Abstract
Elites are often considered actors that largely influence the actual ways of society (cf. Lasswell et al., 1952). Accordingly, they and the communications surrounding them are of course considered a subject of political communication research. Studies focus inter alia on the representation of elite discourse in the media (e.g. Bennett, 1990; Krüger, 2013), on the connections between individual elite actors in the fields of politics and the press (e.g. Hoffmann, 2003; Krüger, 2013; Maurer, 2011; B. Pfetsch & Mayerhöffer, 2011) or on the privileged access of corporate elites to the political centre (e.g. A. Davis, 2002).
