The Media Game is a great introductory book for students interested in the political sciences, political psychology, political management and political communication. Perhaps it is more oriented towards undergraduate students than to anyone else, since it is written at an introductory level. As a recent graduate in the areas of political science and political psychology from a US university, and now back in my home country as the general consultant of a starting univeristy and professor of these topics, I firmly recommend the book to you readers and to my own students. This book is a great source of information, dealing with basic concepts in political communications, US style politics, the media coverage, and the trends of politics and their interaction with the public. It would definately provide students and teachers with the background to go onto further and deeper discussions and detailed material. Thereby, I recommend it to anyone who wants a broad overview of topics in this area, and/or who is considering this approach to politics as a career (since it will help the reader to evaluate this subject and decide whether to enter or not).
