Political Communication redirects here. For the academic journal, see Political Communication journal . Political communication is a sub field of political science and communication that deals with the production, dissemination, procession and effects of information, both through media and interpersonally, within a political context. This includes the study of the media, the analysis of speeches by politicians and those that are trying to influence the political process, and formal and informal conversations among members of the public, among other aspects. Defining the concept As with many terms in social science, political communication has also been difficult to define. For instance, Robert E. Denton and Gary C. Woodward in their book Political Communication in America characterize political communication in the form of intentions of its senders to influence the political environment. In their words the crucial factor that makes communication political is not the source of a message, but its content and purpose. ref name a Denton R.E., Woodward G.C. Political Communication in America , New York Praeger, 1998, p.11 ref Brian McNair provides a similar definition when he writes that political communication is purposeful communication about politics.

Communication for Development C4D is a broad term used to refer to all the different types of communication that need to take place in societies if sustainable democratic development is to occur. It encompasses access to and exchange of information, dialogue, creation of knowledge and open access to knowledge, development communication , strategic communication, participatory communication, expressive culture, media, information and communications infrastructure and technologies. C4D recognises that communication processes often reflect power relations and aims to address this by enabling people s capacities to understand, negotiate and take part in decision making that affects their lives. The growing interest in this sector lead to the first World Congress on Communication for Development organized by the FAO ComDev Team, The World Bank and The Communication initiative in Rome , Italy , in October 2006.

Other uses Lines of Communication disambiguation Lines of Communication A line of communication or communications is the route that connects an operating military unit with its Materiel supply base . Supplies and reinforcements are transported along the line of communication. Therefore, a secure and open line of communication is vital for any military force to continue to operate effectively. Prior to the advent of the use of telegraph and radio in warfare, lines of communication were also the routes used by despatch rider s on horseback and runners to convey and deliver orders and battle updates to and from unit commanders and headquarters. Thus, a unit whose lines of communication were compromised was vulnerable to becoming isolated and defeated, as the means for requesting reinforcements and resupply is lost . The standard military abbreviation is LOC or SLOC for Sea lines of communication Sea line of communication or ALOC for Air line of communication. The interdiction of supplies and reinforcements to units closer to the front lines is therefore an important strategic goal for opposing forces.

However, communication diagrams use the free form arrangement of objects and links as used in Object diagrams. In order to maintain the ordering of messages in such a free form diagram, messages are labeled with a chronological number and placed near the link the message is sent over. Reading a communication diagram involves starting at message 1.0, and following the messages from object to object. Communication diagrams show a lot of the same information as sequence diagrams, but because of how the information is presented, some of it is easier to find in one diagram than the other.

Behavioral Communication is a psychological construct that addresses people s use of day to day behaviors as a form of communication. Specifically, it refers to people s tendency to express feelings, needs, and thoughts by means of indirect messages and behavioral impacts. Basically, any behavior or its absence when one is expected may be judged as communicative if it has the intent to convey a message. For example, an expressive hairstyle, a show of a certain emotion, stonewalling emotional withdrawal , or simply doing or not doing the dishes all can be means by which people may convey messages to each other. The construct of behavioral communication is conceived as a variable of Individual differences . This means that some people more than others tend to engage in behavioral communication in spite of the plausible alternatives of using Linguistics verbal communication . A measure of the construct, The Behavioral Communication Questionnaire M. Ivanov, 2008 , has been introduced at the Society for Personality Assessment conference in March, 2008.

Refimprove date June 2007 Communication sciences refers to the schools of scientific research of human communication. This perspective follows the logical positivism logical positivist tradition of inquiry most modern communication science falls into a tradition of post positivism . Thus, communication scientists believe that there is an objective and independent reality that can be accessed through the method of scientific enquiry. Research conducted under this tradition is empirically based but can be both quantitative or qualitative. Communication science began in earnest when students of Wilbur Schramm the founder of the Institute for Communications Research at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign University of Illinois namely David Berlo, came to Michigan State University and founded the first General Communication Arts department in the early 1950s. Though there are other communication sciences departments elsewhere, Michigan State was the first department in the US that was dedicated solely to the study of communication sciences using a quantitative approach. It is still one of Michigan State s strongest programs and nationally ranked in the study of human communication despite several former faculty members hard living lifestyles.
