4.0 out of 5 stars
An introduction to the horserace, the watchdog function, and so much more...
This past semester I enrolled in a media and politics class, and this text along with Graber's, "Mass Media And American Politics", proved to be very complimentary texts. Citizen's guide is a great text, moving very clearly and cohesively through the history of the media, the development of the FCC, the impact of legislation on broadcasting, the evolution of media...

3.0 out of 5 stars
Less than current
While I found the data contained in Lyengar's book to be well documented, the subject of media/politics is so fluid that this book, published in 2007 is not current. The campaigns of 2008 and 2010 have put much of the data to test and the evolution in the past six years of social media has been so dynamic that it puts much of the conclusions of Lyengar's book in...

This past semester I enrolled in a media and politics class, and this text along with Graber's, "Mass Media And American Politics", proved to be very complimentary texts. Citizen's guide is a great text, moving very clearly and cohesively through the history of the media, the development of the FCC, the impact of legislation on broadcasting, the evolution of media utilization by campaigns, effect of the media on the framing of news and politics, and the dangerous direction an increasingly "commentary" news based form of coverage is headed in. The studies referenced in the text, along with the DVD supplement of media coverage from the past and present, and the structure of the text is a great addition to any political junkies bookshelf and believe it or not is not a bad read outside of the classroom.

The campaigns of 2008 and 2010 have put much of the data to test and the evolution in the past six years of social media has been so dynamic that it puts much of the conclusions of Lyengar's book in the category of "old news." Good in it's time perhaps, but less significant today.

This review is from: Media Politics: A Citizen's Guide (Paperback)
I usually like to start my day by checking the news, and I usually start by taking a quick look at both [...] and [...] that's my attempt at trying to get both sides of the story, but I've gotten to the point that I don't want to read the morning news anymore, because they include so much tragic news of children being horribly abused, or women being killed or raped, and children being killed, that I don't start my day informed--I start my day depressed.
I want to read about politics, world news, and finance, what's happening in the Middle East, sports, entertainment news, weather, our government, science, health, and technology. |
