Political communication is the study of political messaging that is communicated to the public i.e. political campaigns, and advertising, usually within the mass media.[1] It is an interdisciplinary field that draws from communication and political science. Political communication is concerned with ideas such as information flow, political influence, policy making, news, and their effects on citizens.[2] The field also focuses on the study of the media, political speeches, propaganda, corporations and non-profit organisations that communicate to affect political processes.[3] Modern societal changes that have affected the field include the digitization of media, and a movement towards a post-truth media environment.
