From policy debates to election outcomes and social discourse, the University of Delaware's Center for Political Communication continues to track the impact of what can best be described as a revolution in political communication.
Through innovative research and public outreach, the CPC invites students and the community to examine why and how political communication impacts our society. The National Agenda program invites Washington insiders, journalists, politicians, scholars, and media figures to discuss the most important political issues facing Americans today. We turn the mic toward the students themselves with the Speak Up! Audio Essay contest.
As political communication has evolved from sound bites on the nightly news to candidates speaking directly to voters with rapid-fire tweets, the CPC is equipped and prepared to tackle issues in the moment, which is more essential now than ever before. We invite you to explore the CPC website (www.cpc.udel.edu) and learn more about how the CPC tackles difficult topics while connecting with the students and the community.
