Political communication is the intersection between politics and communication. It is generally concerned with production and consumption of political information. How such information spreads and influences politics is the main focus of this course. It probes the interrelatedness between the message production and consumption from symbiotic and adversarial perspectives. Techniques and tactics of spinning, lobbying and the role of the social media in contemporary politics are subjected to critical analysis.
