POLITICAL COMMUNICATION
Editor: David L. Paletz
This content area is devoted to any and all aspects of political communication broadly defined to encompass the control, organization, processes and content of the mass and specialized media as they bear on the "political." Thus "political" is also generously defined. It covers power, authority, government, and the processes and content of public policies as they are affected by and influence the media. Nor is political limited to government institutions and occupants. It includes the media's effects on the socialization, opinions, and political participation of individuals and groups. A diversity of approaches ranging from experimental research to case studies to speculative ruminations is welcome. Above all, books are sought that are innovative, thought-provoking, and original.
