Who is the Media & Elections poster for?
Media & Elections belongs to the Political Science section rather than to a school year, because law & society is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning elections & voting can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
When should you use the Media & Elections poster?
Coverage shapes what the election is about more than what people conclude. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Media & Elections belongs on the wall where that law & society work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
What other posters go with Media & Elections?

Is the Media & Elections poster free to download and print?
Yes. Media & Elections downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Political Science section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
What size does the Media & Elections poster print at?
Media & Elections is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Media & Elections loses nothing.Printing guide
