Description

With new coauthor Johanna Dunaway, the ninth edition of Doris Graber's classic text, Mass Media and American Politics, is thoroughly updated to reflect major structural changes that have shaken the world of political news, including new chapters on the impact of the changing media landscape and on negativity, incivility, and bias. Always a balance of comprehensive coverage and cutting-edge theory, this text shows students how the media influence governmental institutions and functions, and in turn how the government shapes the way the media disseminate information. The book's broad coverage has three focal points: the purpose and structure of media; its impact on the attitudes of ordinary Americans and political elites; and the ways in which the news media cover government and politics.
