Special Spring Public Program Episode of Communication Matters
May 6, 2020
NCA’s spring public program, “Communicating in the Battlegrounds: Politics in the Purple States,” originally scheduled for April 30 at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, was cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. NCA has, instead, hosted this conversation as a podcast, which was released on April 30, 2020. Listeners will hear from five expert panelists who discuss political communication in our elections and explore the effects it has on public opinion, specifically in battleground states.

- Young Mie Kim, Professor, University of Wisconsin-Madison
