Using theoretical and statistical models, along with several new
sets of empirical results, this book examines the impact of
legislative television on the political process in the United
States. It examines the relationship between political-economic
variables and the tendency to adopt/support live television in the
U.S. Congress, the impact of television on the length of U.S. House
and Senate sessions, the use of parliamentary procedures in the
presence (absence) of television cameras, and the role that
legislative television has played in improving incumbents' success
rates in primary/general federal elections. Where possible, the
economic costs to taxpayers of legislators' use of television
cameras, in order to enhance their re-election prospects, are also
considered.
