The chapters of Political Communication: Politics, Press, and Public in America, span the full scope of this area, everything from the rhetoric of presidents to the history of presidential engagement with the press, and the agenda-setting role of the mass media in the formation of public opinion. Other topics engaged by the multiple perspectives of this book are political debates, congress and the media, political marketing and advertising, the events and consequences of the presidential election year, and the classic foundations of political communication in the study of propaganda and elections. Although Political Communication parallels the accumulated research in its emphasis on the national political process, local politics is not ignored. This intriguing blend of material brought together by Perloff will interest students in journalism and mass communication, speech, and political science."" —Maxwell McCombs University of Texas, Austin" Perloff's book is one of the few comprehensive analyses of this area, which is becoming an established subfield of political science. -CHOICE ...a masterful book examining political communication in America from the vantage points of social scientific and mass communication perspectives....The book is organized in a thoughtful and helpful way, incorporating historical and rhetorical perspectives as well.
