The Political Communication Research Section aims to promote comparative research in political communication.
Chair: Philippe J Maarek [contact]
Vice-Chair: Dominic Wring [contact]
This Section aims to promote comparative research in political communication including the changes in political communication processes induced by new media and their influence at all levels. Particular attention is given to the media and political socialisation, political campaigning, public opinion and political participation, and interactions between the media and intermediary organisations such as interest groups and political parties. Studies of the uses of the media in campaigns and elections as well as in political marketing processes in government and the role the media play in local and informal forms of governance are of interest here.

The Political Communication Research Section will be organizing panels at the 2008 IAMCR conference in Stockholm. The section is interested in papers bearing on all the dimensions in political communication of the subject of the conference. Note that we also seek papers on any of the whole range of political
communication research: the media and political socialization,
political campaigning, public opinion and political participation,
interactions between the media and intermediary organizations such as
interest groups and political parties, as well as the involvement and
uses of the medias in campaigns, election; and also the media and
marketing processes in government, from policy making to day to day
politics at the local level, including Town Halls and other Local
Government Institutions communication, from their day to day governance
to the answers given to problematic neighborhoods. The use of Internet
and blogs in modern political communication is also of interest to the
section, as well as other new media and e-government.

 Report of the Political Communication Research Section on IAMCR's 50th Anniversary Conference held in Paris, on 23-25 July 2007.
14 panels and 20 poster sessions have been organized for the Paris Conference, totalling 111 papers (and even more participating colleagues, considering collective presentations). Last minute no-shows were very few, much less than usual (hardly a dozen). Panels attendance was ususaly also very high.
One of the panels was organized in collaboration with the International Communication Section of IAMCR, another with the Political Communication Group of ECREA, the newly founded Eruropean Communication Research Association. One panel was French speaking, another Spanish.
Considering the number of participants, the whole field of Political Communication Research might be considered as having been represented. |
