Alan Schroeder's popular history now covers the 2000 Bush-Gore and
2004 Bush-Kerry debates, including innovations in format and press
coverage, and adds new research on televised debates since 1960.
Schroeder organizes his book according to a television production
timeline, highlighting the importance of pre- and postdebate
periods, as well as the live telecasts themselves. He describes
production in painstaking detail, from the selection of questioners
to camera angles, from makeup to lighting and set design.
Televised debates represent a rare departure from
well-choreographed campaigns, and new media such as YouTube
continue to reshape form and content. Conducting interviews with
journalists and industry insiders, and drawing on his own
experience as an award-winning reporter and television producer,
Schroeder delivers a fascinating backstage tour of every aspect of
debate performance.
