Hi everyone, A colleague of mine is teaching a graduate class this fall on Political Communication, and wanted to devote at least a day to issues of popular culture. He's looking now for readings. Can anyone recommend an article or book chapter that discusses political issues in film/TV? I realize this potentially could be a huge subject, but he's looking for discussions of politics with a small "p": scholarship that addresses things like popular culture portrayals of politicians, portrayals of campaigns, or the influence of popular culture upon political activity. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
