From the beginning of the Republic, members of Congress have been
in the media spotlight. In recent years, the expansion of media
venues has provided both challenges and opportunities to
Representatives and Senators, the public, and even the media
itself. Legacy media such as newspapers and broadcast television
each carry with them their own needs and accepted usages affecting
the kind and volume of news about Congress delivered to the public.
These sources still serve important roles for much of the public
and are covered here. This book goes beyond the traditional legacy
media to include CongressaEURO (TM) portrayal on live television,
in political cartoons, in film, as a part of the emerging
aEUROoeinfotainmentaEURO venues, and through social media such as
web pages, Facebook, and Twitter. We increasingly live in a world
where the lines between traditional news and others sources of
information have been erased. This is an exciting, if challenging,
time, for Congress, the media, and the public as each attempts to
sort out the new media environment and employ it to its advantage.
Using a comprehensive analysis of previous research, dozens of
interviews, and the inclusion of empirical data, this book assesses
the current status of the relationship between Congress and the
media and sorts out the temporary changes from those likely to
represent future trends. Whether one is associated with Congress,
is an interested citizen, or is part of the media industry,
understanding the relationships and developments between and among
them is key to understanding how the public behaves in relation to
Congress, and vice versa.
