Political Communication – communication and political socialization
October 29, 2007
The role of communication in the process of political socialization is gaining renewed attention among both mass communication and political science researchers. This intensified attention is partly a consequence of concerns about the effects of media on declining rates of political participation, especially among adolescents and young adults. Yet, it also grows out the rise of the Internet, the development of life-long learning models, the increase of studies on generational and contextual differences in communication effects, and the expansion of research scope to include civic participation alongside the political. Political Communication is dedicating a special issue to this topic.
