Political issues are those that have an impact on a large part of the population and involve widespread personal experience. They are attractive for broad media coverage and they are suitable for address by politicians, legislators and public interest groups. State-of-the-art political is sue management is the application of common sense to difficult situations of public concern. It draws on elements of strategic planning and crisis manage ment.
