2012 Distinguished Political Communication Research Award

The Political Communication Interest Group at AEJMC announces its inaugural Distinguished Political Communication Research Award, which recognizes the author of an outstanding scholarly journal article in political communication. Political communication includes a range of topics that examine mediated interactions among citizens, press, candidates, public officials, and government. We welcome any type of methodology including: quantitative, qualitative, mixed methods, critical and rhetorical approaches. We also welcome American and international political communication articles. Only articles published between January 2011 and December 2011 are eligible for consideration. All nominations must be accompanied by a letter of nomination describing how the article makes, or promises to make, a significant contribution to political communication theory, research, and/or practice. Self-nominations are welcome. The nomination letter should include name, title, affiliation, and contact info of the article’s author. The nomination letter and a .pdf of the nominated article should be emailed by June 15, 2012 to Jason Zenor (jason.zenor@oswego.edu), Chair of the Distinguished Political Communication Research Award Committee.
