Radio reporting of national conventions began in 1924 and the first telecasts took place in 1940. Over the years, the electronic media have helped shape the way in which sessions are conducted and have influenced behavior of delegates. Analysts differ in their interpretation of TV audience size.

A report on a study which compares the predictions of minimum resource theory, minimum power theory, & anticompetitive theory in a mock pol'al convention situation, in which the payoff cannot be divided. The dependent variable, probability of contacting the candidate with fewer resources, was shown to be reliably greater than 50% for a wide range of distributions & resources. This result was interpreted as supporting minimum resource theory over both minimum power theory & anticompetitive theory. A shift in the probability of contacting the candidate with fewer resources was observed, at the equalitarian point (ie, the point at which all players have an equal N of votes). A 'weakened' version of anticompetitive theory was suggested to account for this shift. HA.

Reports on the goals, content, & impact of the National Hip Hop Political Convention held in Newark, NJ, on 16-19 June 2004, & attended by delegations from 20 different US states. The convention was aimed at transforming the hip hop generation into political activists & leaders. The focus was on the specific "social principles" of criminal justice; economic justice; educational empowerment; equality; global issues; health; media regulation; & organizing the organizers. Convention proceedings included panel discussions, town hall meetings, free music concerts/showcases, & a film festival. It is noted that the venue, which was not limited to the "social principles," included such important issues as the place of women in hip hop & the genre's African roots. The best-attended workshop was, "Criminal Justice 301: Gang Education & Outreach," which featured former Bloods & Crips. The potential for the convention to begin the process leading to a new political era is discussed. The text of the original, un-amended 5-Point Agenda on Education, Economic Justice, Criminal Justice, Health, & Human Rights is included. J. Lindroth

"The modern convention continues many of the traditions and rules developed during the first political conventions in the mid-19th century. This study analyzes the birth of the convention process in the 1830s and follows its development between 1832 and 1872, chronicling each of the presidential elections, the leading candidates, key issues, memorable speeches and events"--Provided by publisher.
