In the words of one Congressman
I am not only a news maker, but a news
man - perhaps the most widely read
journalist in my district. I have a radio
show, a television programme, and a
news column with a circulation larger
than that of most of the weekly
newspapers in my district (OShaughnessy
1990, p. 70)

 Current research on PM
Currently, research on political marketing does
not, in the majority, utilise state-of-the-art
marketing theory and the underlying
multiplicity of schools that have become
prominent in marketing

Political marketing theory has also neglected to

incorporate major developments as part of the
leading (managerial) paradigm, e.g. market-
orientation (Jaworski and Kohli 1993)
