Reviews
-
Bob Denton has done it again. With every election cycle he brings together stronger and stronger examinations of communication in the campaign context. The election of 2020 in many ways challenged our democratic system, and in this examination of that momentous election Denton's contributors push our own understanding of the limits and efficacy of political communication. Like it's predecessors, this book is a must have for any scholar interested in politics or political communication.
Joseph M. Valenzano III, University of Dayton
