Political Communication and Persuasion

Political Communication and Persuasion was a journal founded by terrorologist Yonah Alexander in 1980. It was published by Crane Russak.

Merger and new title

PC&P ceased to exist in 1994 when it was retitled Political Communication and the overtly ideoligical complexion of the editorial board was noticeably ended. The journal itself gives the following account:

Based on the recommendation of a joint publication committee chaired by Jarol B. Manheim (George Washington University), the Political Communication Divisions of ICA and APSA agreed in 1991 to co-sponsor a new journal, Political Communication. The new journal was to be published by Taylor & Francis Publishers and would replace the printing house's journal Political Communication and Persuasion. After negotiations with the publisher and the boards of both ICA and APSA, the new journal began publication as Political Communication (Volume 10) under the editorship of Doris Graber in 1994. Editorship of the journal rotates between the ICA and APSA Political Communication Divisions.
