Annenberg Undergraduates Attend Republican and Democratic National Conventions
01 Dec 2016
A national political convention in America is quite a thing to behold. For four nights, nearly every major politician in a given party is in one arena, along with every news outlet and its top journalists, thousands of delegates, a smattering of celebrities, and countless volunteers and political professionals making the whole thing run smoothly. The speeches, the signs, the balloons, the video, the lights — it is political pageantry at the highest level.
What better classroom could there possibly be to study political communication?
