About this book
Reviews
“This book offers a rich exploration of how politicians use the news media. A common ‘information and arena’ framework provides a degree of focus that is rare in edited volumes. The result is a rich set of ideas about how to understand the media arena and its role in politics.” (Lance Bennett, University of Washington)
