Although political 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.

This first comparative study of the political communication processes in the United States and France brings together researchers from both countries to examine differences and similarities between the media's involvement in each nation's 1988 presidential election campaign. The book analyzes the construction of mediated political reality in the two countries, and concludes that French media do not concentrate more on policy issues than do American media. The authors discuss television news and newsmagazine coverage of the overall campaigns and their particular political debates, television commercials and broadcasts, and political posters. Also assessed are the interactions between party/candidate presentations of political reality and voter interpretations of that reality. The contributions are grouped into four sections: Comparing Politics in Two Cultures, which includes discussions of constructing a political communication project and the theoretical dimensions of the studies; Mediated Campaign Messages, which contains analyses of reality construction, political advertising, and political broadcasts; Media Coverage of the Campaigns; and Implications of Mediated Campaigning, which covers the effects of television broadcasts on voter perception and possibilities for improving the electoral process. This work is a useful resource for students, scholars, and politicians interested in political communication and comparative politics, as well as for journalists and members of the media.
