Report of the Political Communication Research Section on IAMCR's 50th Anniversary Conference held in Paris, on 23-25 July 2007.
14 panels and 20 poster sessions have been organized for the Paris Conference, totalling 111 papers (and even more participating colleagues, considering collective presentations). Last minute no-shows were very few, much less than usual (hardly a dozen). Panels attendance was ususaly also very high.
One of the panels was organized in collaboration with the International Communication Section of IAMCR, another with the Political Communication Group of ECREA, the newly founded Eruropean Communication Research Association. One panel was French speaking, another Spanish.
Considering the number of participants, the whole field of Political Communication Research might be considered as having been represented.
