Project on Ethics in Political Communication: New Year’s Update
Happy New Year
The Project on Ethics in Political Communication had a busy fall with talks, writing, the Five Questions series, and the announcement of a new book. You can keep up with everything we do on Twitter and Facebook.
Textbook Available for Pre-Order
Political Communication Ethics: Theory and Practice is available for pre-order from Rowman & Littlefield. Half of the chapters in this textbook are written by academics and half by political professionals - it may be the only book of its kind. Political Communication Ethics is scheduled for release in July, ready for students this fall. Stay tuned for more details.
Talks
In the fall of 2019, Project director Peter Loge spoke to more than 300 students, faculty and members of the community at Oregon State University, a standing-room only group at the Applied Ethics Center at UMass Boston, students, faculty and community members at the University of Oregon, communication professionals at the ComNet19 conference in Austin, and elsewhere.
This spring talks are already scheduled for the Campaigns and Elections awards and conference in Atlanta , the Association for Practical and Professional Ethics annual conference in Atlanta, and at the Frank Gathering in Gainesville. More talks and events are in the works. To arrange a guest lecture or talk, send me an email at ploge@gwu.edu.

The Project continues receive media attention. Over the past several months, Project director Peter Loge wrote about campaign ethics for Campaigns and Elections and the ethics of rhetoric around impeachment for The Hill. He was also a guest on the Sirius/XM Potus channel’s Morning Briefing and the Emerson College Campus on the Common podcast. To arrange an interview or request a guest column, email me at ploge@gwu.edu.
