Political Communication

Politics depends heavily on communication among and between political elites, the media, and citizens. Scholars at Annenberg examine the role of interpersonal and mass-mediated communication on the attitudes, opinions, information-processing, and behavior of citizens, political elites, political institutions, and political systems.
