Welcome to the online home of the 2011 Political Communication APSA Pre-Conference.
The Political Communication section of the American Political Science Association advances the study of political communication within the discipline of political science. Political communication encompasses the creation, shaping, dissemination, processing and effects of information within the political system-both domestic and international - whether by governments, other institutions, groups or individuals. Through research in such areas as media in the political process, new media technologies, societal and individual-level effects of the media, public diplomacy and international communication, political scientists bring important perspectives to understanding the role of communication in political life.
