Notes
1. Another notable early effort at synthesizing a new field of political communication is Steven CitationChaffee's Political Communication (1975). Jack M. McLeod has averred, “One could argue that political communication became a field only with the publication of Steve's edited volume with that title” (CitationMcLeod, 2001).
2. For one example of a recent “redefinition of the field,” see CitationCrozier (2007, p. 6).
