Everything You Think You Know About Politics...and Why You're Wrong

10 reviews
Kathleen Hall Jamieson

Basic Books, 2000

Knowledge Backed With Data
This author deserves high praise as she bases her findings on original data. Many political books only present an author's opinions, which are useful in their own way. This book presents academic interpretation of survey findings. This book explores how contrasting political information is useful in mobilizing support for candidates, yet false political information does tend to be recognized ...

The new eloquence of political oratory in a televized world

Dirty Politics: Deception, Distraction, and Democracy

3 reviews
Kathleen Hall Jamieson

Oxford University Press, USA, 1993

Engaging Arguments
As a professor of communication, I have enthusiastically used Kathleen Hall Jamieson's Dirty Politics as a text that makes sense of so much of what we see in nationally televised politics. Students invariably come away from reading Jamieson with a much deeper apprecation for politics--and what ails it. The strength of this text is in the attention to detail; specifically, Jamieson grounds ...

Spiral of Cynicism: The Press and the Public Good

2 reviews
Joseph N. Cappella, Kathleen Hall Jamieson

Oxford University Press, USA, 1997

Nice work but results not that overwhelming
A compilation of a number of experimental studies on the impact of the framing effects of news. The authors point out that political news nowadays uses mostly the strategic frame - focus on strategies of actors - rather than issue frame - focus on substantive aspects of the issues. And the authors try to test if the use of strategic frame would lead to enhanced cynicism. The findings of the ...

Deeds Done in Words: Presidential Rhetoric and the Genres of Governance
Karlyn Kohrs Campbell, Kathleen Hall Jamieson

University Of Chicago Press, 1990

" Deeds Done in Words is an impressive piece of work. It is the first attempt to identify and assess the principal genres of rhetoric, and to interpret the panoply of those genres in terms of the needs of, and the needs for, ritual in American politics."—Jeffrey Tulis, author of The Rhetorical Presidency " Deeds Done in Words is a thoughtful survey of how a democracy uses language to transact its business. Based on an enlivened ...

Presidential Campaigns: Sins of Omission (The ANNALS of the American Academy of Political and Social Science ...

Sage Publications, Inc, 2000

It is a truism that the issues politicians discuss in campaigns deserve study, but what about the issues they do not discuss? The question of what gets on a presidential campaignâ€™s radar screen, what does not, and why is central to understanding how effectively campaigns function as tools of self-government. This issue of The Annals examines dimensions of these questions through articles originally commissioned for two conferences at the ...

The Institutions of American Democracy: The Press (Institutions of American Democracy Series)

3 reviews

Oxford University Press, USA, 2006

The Press
[...]As with everything in our lives the pendulum is never static. It usually swings too far to the right for a period of time then overcompensates by swinging too far to the left. It seldom spends a lot of time precisely balanced in the middle providing a perfect balance of left/right thinking and action. We've seen this with the dramatic growth of on-line "journalists" or breed that Dan ...

The 2000 Presidential Election and the Foundations of Party Politics (Communication, Society and Politics)
Richard Johnston, Michael G. Hagen, ...

Cambridge University Press, 2004

Campaigns suddenly seem to matter, as do questions about the electoral process in the aftermath of the 2000 presidential election. The authors examine the U.S. electoral process as an integrated event spanning a full year, drawing upon the Annenberg 2000 Election Study. The scale of their fieldwork is such that they have been able to isolate key turning points and that dynamics can be studied within certain segments. Johnston, Hagen and Jamieson ...

Electing the President, 2000: The Insiders' View

2 reviews

University of Pennsylvania Press, 2001

A look back at Campaign 2000
There is much that can be learned from this compilation of the campaign strategists holding forth on Election 2000 -- much more so than in any of the other popularized accounts of the campaign and the "36 days." Especially if Bush and Gore wind up facing each other again in three years, this is a book to refer back to. Several things struck me from this volume. One of them was the completely ...
