Cross-national Perspectives on Party Press Releases
Sat, August 31, 8:00 to 9:30am, Hilton, Columbia 2Session Submission Type: Full Paper Panel
Session Description
Scholars have recently started to analyze party press releases in an effort to understand their rhetorical strategies. Press releases allow nearly continuous measures of party rhetoric, since – unlike parties’ election manifestos – they are published continuously throughout the electoral cycle. This panel brings together four empirical studies by junior and senior scholars who study the strategies that parties use to respond to each other, as well as voter reactions to party communications, by analyzing press releases issued by political parties and MPs.
