Sleep-deprived reporters. Spin doctors. Deadlines. All constants in
the world of television election reporting. But do they alone
explain why television coverage of the 1992 presidential campaign
looked the same night after night across the broadcast/cable media
divide? Matthew Robert Kerbel says no, pointing instead to the
shared interests and perspectives of news workers that bridge
network differences. Edited for Television explores those common
orientations as it tells the story of the 1992 election in the
voice of a one-time television newswriter and the media personnel
he skillfully interviews. One of the first studies to compare cable
news with its broadcast counterparts, Edited for Television is
loaded with new insights into what gets covered and what gets left
out as well as why and to what effect. At once a large-scale media
election study and an examination of forces shaping television
news, this book answers a host of provocative questions: Under what
conditions will television pay more attention to the issues than to
the "horserace"? What happened to coverage when Ross Perot
redefined how a campaign is conducted? Why is it that cable and
broadcast television devote so much air time to the interests and
concerns of cable and broadcast television? For everyone concerned
with the effect of the visual media on citizens and the political
process, Edited for Television is a lively, informative account of
how America's most recent bout with democracy appeared on the
screen and behind the camera. Original data and election research
are combined with engaging interviews of ABC and CNN personnel to
produce a work of both scholarly and general interest.
