The Nightly News Nightmare, Third Edition, examines news coverage
of presidential nomination and election campaigns from 1988 to
2008. The book focuses on changes in the amount, tone, and focus of
news coverage in these different electoral contexts. In addition to
network news, the authors examine online news, cable television,
talk radio, candidate campaign discourse in these election years.
Farnsworth and Lichter find that the news media, despite the wide
variety of outlets, have consistent problems in terms of fairness
and focus on substantive matters rather than the horse-race
reporting of the latest polls. In addition to the extensive
discussion of the 2008 campaign, the third edition offers far more
discussion and evidence regarding the use of alternative media,
including online content, in the most recent presidential election.
The authors conclude that online news had many of the same problems
found in mainstream news coverage.
