Political Communication Yearbook, 1984

Althoughpolitical communication is a relatively new academic discipline, it is rapidly assuming a mature role in schol­arship. The editors present examples of that scholarship in this book. Three areas of political communica­tion in the 1980s that capture the rich variety of problems, techniques, contro­versies, and literature are included: "Current Perspectives on the Spiral of Si­lence"; "Computers and Political Communication: Analyses and Applica­tions," which examines ways in which computer technology helps to shape what we learn and how we apply politi­cal communication; and "Dimensions of Political Communication Analysis in the 1980s," which presents six essays on current theory and research.Sanders, Keith R. is the author of 'Political Communication Yearbook, 1984' with ISBN 9780809311835 and ISBN 0809311836.
