The tenth edition of Political Campaign Communication: Principles and Practices provides a clear and thorough survey of the strategic decisions vital to the success of contemporary political campaigns. The authors draw on a host of examples involving political campaigns at local, statewide, and national levels to illustrate all aspects of campaign communication, from forms of public address to buttons, yard-signs, and billboards, to traditional media and the use of internet and social media platforms. Throughout the volume they draw on communication theories to clearly explain contemporary political campaign practices.

Updated to reflect most recent practices and events from the 2020 presidential campaign, the book also considers journalistic practices and ethical considerations of today.

Reviews for Political Campaign Communication: Principles and Practices

Political Campaign Communication has been my go-to book every semester I have taught Political Communication. The way the book treats political discourse by genres enables the professor to focus each unit on both form/style and content such as themes and strategies. Kudos to the authors on this new and improved edition!--Dennis Cali, Distinguished Professor of Arts and Sciences, University of Texas at Tyler
