Publisher Synopsis
"Danielle Vinson's outstanding new book, Congress and the Media, demonstrates that going public through the media is an increasingly vital way in which members of Congress-particularly those with less power-seek to influence the direction of public policy. In a period of centralized congressional power, a free media helps insure that minority voices are heard-and can matter!"--Lawrence C. Dodd, Manning J. Dauer Eminent Scholar in Political Science,University of Florida"In Congress and the Media, Danielle Vinson expertly blends content analysis, case studies, and personal interviews to produce the best general treatment of 'going public' on Capitol Hill in many years. The book is a must-read for legislative scholars and a worthy addition to courses about the national legislature."--C. Lawrence Evans, Professor of Government and Public Policy, William & Mary Read more...
