Media and Politics provides students with a selection of readings
that help them better understand how politics affect journalism and
media, and how journalism and media, in turn, impact politics. The
anthology also provides insight into the basic techniques and
tenets for covering new stories, especially those of a political
nature. The collection begins by providing a brief history of the
development of modern journalism in the United States. Later
chapters address the concept of newsworthiness, core standards of
journalism, the difference in news items distributed across various
media platforms, and performance and script editing techniques for
radio and television. Students read about how audience perception
of production values can impact their impressions of news videos
and the social impact of the kinds of people most featured in news
reports, as well as how they are featured. Additional chapters
discuss the effects of presenting news from a human interest angle
and video editing. Each chapter includes questions to stimulate
critical thinking and encourage further consideration of the
material. An engaging and timely resource, Media and Politics is
well suited for courses in journalism, media, and political
science.
