I am teaching a political communication & Media Lobbying course to undergraduate students. Can anybody suggest me a good handbook on this course which covers both political communication and media lobbying.
One option might be the book "Political Public Relations. Principles and Applications" (Routledge, 2011), that I co-edited with Spiro Kiousis. It covers political communication as well as news management and agenda building.
Yes, it’s available as paperback: http://www.amazon.com/Political-Public-Relations-Applications-Communication/dp/0415873819/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1425376812&sr=8-1&keywords=political+public+relations
