Purchase options and add-ons

Between 1986 and 2005, nearly every state in the Southeast grappled with one or more proposals for a state-run lottery. The political battles and marketing campaigns leading up to the decisions generated considerable public debate and media attention. Pro-lottery and anti-lottery groups executed costly and labor-intensive campaigns aimed at generating the involvement of the media, politicians, and voters. Using a variety of case studies, Lottery Wars examines those debates and campaigns from both theoretical and practical perspectives. Using thousands of media articles and government documents, in addition to dozens of interviews with politicians, religious leaders, and journalists who covered the campaigns, Bobbitt brings up-to-date the research on state lotteries in the Southeast United States. Accessible and journalistic in style, Lottery Wars is an ideal supplement to any political communication course.

    Welcome to my author page. My career as an author began when I turned my master's thesis and doctoral dissertation into books that were eventually published by specialty publishing houses. Once I began college teaching I took advantage of university resources (grant funding, research assistants, library staffs) to produce three textbooks (one each in public relations, communication law, and communication ethics) and three nonfiction books dealing with the intersection of politics, popular culture, and the law.

    I am currently working on two new books: EXPLORING COMMUNICATION LAW, which is revision of my 2008 communication law textbook; and AFRAID OF THE LIGHT, a historical-legal book dealing with the banning of books from K-12 classrooms and libraries. They should be out in 2018 and 2019, respectively.

    I earned a PhD in Communication Law and Policy from Bowling Green State University. I have taught journalism, public relations, and communication law and ethics at four institutions: University of South Florida (1988-92), Marshall University (1992-2001), University of North Carolina Wilmington (2001-06), and the University of West Florida (2006-2016).
