<p class="MsoNormal">CDQ has a new Online First article by<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Lato",sans-serif;color:#666666;background:white">
</span>Ryan Cheek: “<a href="http://sigdoc.acm.org/political-technical-communication-and-ideographic-communication-design-in-a-pre-digital-congressional-campaign">Political Technical Communication and Ideographic Communication Design in a Pre-digital Congressional
Campaign</a>” (sigdoc.acm.org/political-technical-communication-and-ideographic-communication-design-in-a-pre-digital-congressional-campaign).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here is the abstract for the article: Building on the work of technical communication scholars concerned with social justice and electoral politics, this article examines the
<i>Coray for Congress</i> (1994) campaign as a case study to argue in support of a more formal disciplinary commitment to political technical communication (PxTC). Specifically, it closely analyzes the ideographic communication design of pre-digital PxTC artifacts
from the campaign archive. The type of pre-digital political communication design products analyzed in this article are ubiquitous even today. The implications of four dominant ideographs are analyzed in this case study: <jobs>, <communities>, <families>,
and <<span style="font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif">🔴⚪<span style="color:#66CCFF">🔵</span></span>>. Key takeaways for PxTC practitioners, educators, and scholars are discussed.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-stretch:normal;min-height:16px"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We invite you to contribute to the conversation. <i>Communication Design Quarterly</i> strives to be a place open to all types of research and writing as it relates to communication design, and we welcome non-traditional work and work by
emerging scholars. We also know that many of our number work outside of academia, and welcome experience reports that summarize important technologies, techniques, methods, pedagogies, or product processes. We are also interested in proposals for guest editing
special issues. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
