Political Communication Resources is a gateway to Internet sites containing useful information about the media and democracy. This site was created by Lance Bennett as a service to students and citizens interested in learning more about how the media shape identity, society, and politics. The resources available here include: the Internet services of world news organizations; data archives on society, citizen participation and the press; media criticism from a wide range of political and academic perspectives; political parties and other organizations involved with various issue and election campaigns; professional associations for scholars and journalists; research centers exploring the issues that confront citizens and democracies in the media age.
