==History==
In 1980 Political Communication and Persuasion was a journal founded by terrorologist Yonah Alexander. It was published by Crane Russak. 
Alongside this the the Politcal Communcation Division began in 1975 to publish a small annual journal called Political Communication Review (PCR). In its early years it focused on 'providing members with bibliographic or review essays, book reviews, descriptions of non-print materials available to scholars, and current bibliographies of new publications in the growing discipline.' The journal continued to be published under the joint editorship of Keith R. Sanders and Lynda Lee Kaid until 1991 when it was succeeded by Political Communication. Political Communication Division, International Communication Association Political Communication, accessed 25 November 2014 
In 1991 the Political Communication Divisions of ICA and APSA agreed to co-sponsor a new journal, combining both the Political Communication and Persuasion journal and Political Communication Review to produce a new scholarly journal called Political Communication. 
The newly named journal began publication as Political Communication (Volume 10) under the editorship of Doris Graber in 1994. Editorship of the journal rotates between the ICA and APSA Political Communication Divisions.
