Big question, simple explanation
Following up on a previous post explaining the reasons and formats for these 'concept videos', a few more will follow. In this particular video I reflect over the concept of political communication. Where does the concept come from? How relevant are classical theories and models today? Why ought students of social science today to know something about the origins of political communication as an academic theme and a scholarly field? To provide an example of whyt we should ask, one might consider the book in the small image to the left here: Aaron Davis' fine book on political communication for "crisis times". The question is this: When was political communication not referring to crisis, and what is different in contemporary political communication compared to other eras? Issues such as these come up in the video.
