Nov. 21, 2013--Even as the
parties and political operatives look towards the 2014 and 2016
elections, academics continue to study, analyze and discuss the 2012
campaign. At the 99th Annual Convention of the National
Communication Association, Professor Robert E. Denton, Jr., chair of
the department of communication at Virginia Tech, headed a panel on
"The 2012 Presidential Campaign: An Overview and Analysis of the Major
Areas of Political Campaign
Communication." One of the participants in the panel, Professor John
Tedesco, also of Virginia Tech, said he was surprised at "how much the
candidates stretched the truth in their advertising." |
