Team Needs:
|
We are looking for students who are interested in political science and political communication. It is required that students are responsive to communication, organized, and detail-oriented. The project requires work on data gathering, and the software used will be Excel and google sheets. Students are not required to have previous experience with those software. |

Description:
|
This project aims to investigate the presence of studies of comparative political communication in the major general political science journals from 2015 to 2022. It is a large data collection project that will focus on mapping the frequency political communication papers are published, whether the studies rely on single-country or cross-national studies (and which countries are included), what kind of media outlet the authors focus and the methodology used. By the end of the data collection effort, we will have a comprehensive understanding of the political communication field. |
