This issue of Political Communication Report appears in the wake of political violence on U.S. soil and the war in response. Scholarship moves slowly, and solid studies of political communication since September 11 will emerge only later; however, research on terrorism and the media is ongoing. Members are invited to add citations to the list initiated with this issue under the heading, Terrorism. A generous slate of meetings have issued Calls for Papers, including an IPSA conference on whether on the relationship between the West and Islam will change because of the events since September 11. In his Message to the section, Chair Robert Entman shares the draft report on a Conference on Race and the Press held in Washington, D.C., June 28, 2001. Pippa Norris, Harvard University, and Francis A. Beer, University of Colorado, Boulder, have abstracts for their new books, along with links to publishers on the page, Books Received. Members are invited to propose books for longer reviews. See the complete listing of political communication notices received from publishers: Books Noted. Be sure to propose the book well in advance, to allow time to facilitate the sending of complimentary copies for critical review. Political communication scholars continue to receive awards, and committees are again beginning their work to name the top publications and authors in the field: Awards. The Meetings page includes several conferences and workshops planned for early 2002. There are upcoming deadlines to apply for research support, listed on the page, Grants. The joint APSA/ICA Political Communication newsletter, Political Communication Report, is published exclusively on line. Send your comments, reviews, feature articles, and notes about accomplishments, calls for papers, and meeting announcements for inclusion in the next issue by February 15, 2002. Kevin
