Political communication is a subfield of communication and political science that is concerned with how information spreads and influences politics. Since the advent of the World Wide Web, the amount of data to analyze has exploded, and researchers are shifting to computational methods to study the dynamics of political communication. In recent years, machine learning, natural language processing, and network analysis have become key tools in the subfield. ==Fields and areas of Study== The field of political communication concern 2 main areas: * Election campaigns - Political communications involved in campaigning for elections. * Government operations - This role is usually fulfilled by a Ministry of Communications, Information Technology or similar political entity. Such an entity is in charge of maintaining communication legislation and would be responsible for setting telecommunications policy and regulations as well as issuing broadcasting licenses, comments press releases, etc... According to James Chesebro, there are five critical approaches to contemporary Political communications: # Machiavellian - i.e. power relationships # Iconic - symbols are important # Ritualistic - Redundant and superficial nature of political acts - manipulation of symbols. # Confirmation - political aspects looked at as people we endorse # Dramatistic - politics is symbolically constructed.
