Dynamics Of Political Communication : Media And Politics In A Digital Age, 2Nd Edition by Richard M. Perloff, 9781138651654 , T&F/Routledge
"Somehow, Perloff has managed to make it look easy yet again. In Dynamics of Political Communication, he offers a reflection on our field that is entertaining and accessible, yet simultaneously firmly rooted in the latest political communication research from around the globe. Students will enjoy learning about the most important concepts from our field today –through colorful anecdote, self-reflective questions, and references to everything from House of Cards and Saturday Night Live to Anthony Weiner’s sexting scandals. What’s not to like?"
-Dannagal G. Young, Associate Professor of Communication and Researcher with the Center for Political Communication. University of Delaware
"Rick Perloff has a firm grasp on theory and research in the area of political communication and provides a masterful treatment of this key aspect of contemporary society. The competing visions of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump as they fought for the Oval Office in 2016 sharply underline why it is vital to understand political communication."
-William L. Benoit, Professor of Communication Studies, Ohio University.
"I highly recommend this well organized, comprehensive, accessible, theoretically-driven introduction to political communication."
-Dr. Kathleen Hall Jamieson, University of Pennsylvania
"In Richard Perloff’s The Dynamics of Political Communication we had one of the very best political communication textbooks – a volume well-grounded in relevant theory and conversant with the wide-ranging research findings that inform our understanding of politics and communication. His second edition updates our knowledge of the rapidly changing political communication landscape while preserving the substantial strengths of his original work. This book will help our students become more informed – and hopefully more engaged – citizens."
-Mitchell S. McKinney, Director, Political Communication Institute, University of Missouri
