The Political Communication Research Section will be organizing panels at the 2010 IAMCR conference in Braga, Portugal. The section is interested in papers bearing on all the dimensions in political communication of the subject of the conference.

Note that we also seek papers on any of the whole range of political communication research: the media and political socialization, political campaigning, public opinion and political participation, interactions between the media and intermediary organizations such as interest groups and political parties, as well as the involvement and uses of the medias in campaigns, election; and also the media and marketing processes in government, from policy making to day to day politics at the local level, including Town Halls and other Local Government Institutions communication, from their day to day governance to the answers given to problematic neighborhoods.

The use of Internet, blogs and all king of Internet social networks in modern political communication is also of interest to the section, as well as other new media and e-government processes.

Paper proposals should be one page, and should list the author's name, address, university affiliations, telephone, fax, and e-mail, followed by the paper's title and an abstract of 500 words/1500 signs. The abstract should specify the subject, questions asked, methodology and findings.

Proposals must be submitted, before the deadline indicated on IAMCR website, via the conference's online system. <http://www.lasics.uminho.pt/ocs/index.php/iamcr/2010portugal/schedConf/cfp>Click here to begin submitting a proposal.

Also, in keeping with our section?s tradition of exploring points of intersect with other sections of IAMCR, this year we wish to convene a joint panel, with the Gender Section, on the theme: ?Assessing Gender Bias in Contemporary Electoral Communication?.
