Faculty members in the University of Oklahoma's Communication Department explore political and mass communication through diverse theoretical and methodological lenses. The department houses the Political Communication Center, maintaining the most extensive collection of political advertisements globally. Mass communication studies generally focus on message creation, content, audience engagement, reception, and impact across various media platforms. Since modern politics predominantly operates through mass media channels, political communication research frequently examines these aspects in relation to electoral campaigns, policy matters, ideological frameworks, and power dynamics.
