"The book is well versed in the scholarly literature as well as
pop-culture references found in contemporary television shows and
movies. But what stands out in the volume's research is its
utilization of interviews conducted by the author that provide a
range of perspectives on the media and politics from the vantage
points of U.S. senators, journalists, critics, and activists."
-Kirkus Reviews "Jane Hall has written a brilliant analysis that is
educational, entertaining and important. Her comprehensive and
timely book will be required reading for scholars, and will be
invaluable for general readers and anyone interested in the
relationship between politics and the media." - Kenneth T. Walsh,
veteran White House correspondent, adjunct professorial lecturer in
communication, and author of 10 books on the presidency including
Presidential Leadership in Crisis. "Finally, as current a book as
possible incorporating scholarly work on the media and politics and
up-to-date examples and suggested exercises that are sure to rivet
student interest. From its coverage of a tweeting President
constantly assailing the media to trenchant analyses of coverage of
the BLM movement, immigration and how the media treats women
candidates this book is a must- adopt for Media and Politics
classes. It is also an excellent add on for classes on American
Politics and Campaigns and Elections." - Karen O'Connor, Jonathan
N. Helfat Distinguished Professor of Politics, Founder Women and
Politics Institute, American University. "The book is very timely
and it has good case studies for students to discuss in class. It
has chapters on race- and gender-related issues. You can use it as
the main textbook, or you can assign it as supplementary reading
material." -Ivy Shen, PhD. Southeast Missouri State University
Politics and the Media: Intersections and New Directions examines
how media and political institutions interact to shape public
thinking and debates around social problems, cultural norms, and
policies. From the roles of race and gender in American politics to
the 2020 elections and the global coronavirus pandemic, this is an
extraordinary moment for politicians, the news media, and democracy
itself. Drawing from years of experience as an active political
media analyst, an award-winning journalist and professor of
politics and the media, Jane Hall explores how media technologies,
practices, and formats shape political decision-making; how
political forces influence media institutions; and how public
opinion and media audiences are formed. Students will gain an
understanding of these issues through a combination of scholarship,
in-depth interviews, and contemporary case-studies that will help
them develop their own views and learn to express them
constructively.
