"Readers seeking a carefully researched view of the changing face of news media will be rewarded for their efforts."--Publishers Weekly "Fascinating, illuminating, fun--and also a little scary. Highly recommended, even indispensable, reading for anyone who wants a clear understanding of the current relationship between the media and democratic self-government."-Cass R. Sunstein, Harvard Law School and author of Republic.com 2.0 Kathleen Hall Jamieson and Joseph Cappella-two of the nation's foremost experts on politics and communications-offer a searching analysis of the conservative media establishment, from talk radio to Fox News to the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal. Indeed, here is the first serious account of how the conservative media arose, what it consists of, and how it operates. By analyzing actual cases, together with survey data, the authors find that this media establishment creates a self-protective enclave for conservatives, shielding them from other information sources, and promoting strongly negative associations with political opponents.
