Professionalization of Political Communication

Long before a politician opens his mouth to speak in public, his words have been filtered through a team of public relations experts, communications consultants, and campaign assistants. When did politicians' speeches stop being their own? And who are these professional communicators who fine-tune messages to suit the demands of electoral strategy? In "The Professionalization of Political Communication," renowned contributors explore the effect of such consciously manipulated discourse on European politics; the resulting volume is essential for anyone interested in the changing political dialect.Negrine, Ralph is the author of 'Professionalization of Political Communication ', published 2007 under ISBN 9781841501598 and ISBN 184150159X.
