The Point of No Return
Thomas Byrne Edsall is one of America's finest political journalists and a foremost amplifier of the work of political scientists and other scholars. Academic research bolsters his argument in virtually every chapter of The Point of No Return. The book is a collection of his New York Times columns, bookended by a new introduction and conclusion, spanning the period from Donald Trump's rise in the 2016 election to his attempt to overturn the presi…
Is the Republican Party Destroying Itself
How America Lost Its Mind
For the Negative
The founders believed in the Lockean ideal of negative government, which holds that government governs best by staying out of people&s;s lives, thus giving individuals as much freedom as possible to determine their own pursuits. S. Holmes was acknowledging that the great changes in the economy, society, and communication required a concept of press freedom that recognized the rights of leaders and audiences in addition to the rights of media owne…
Presidency and Social Media
In-your-face politics
Good writing is uncommon enough in an academic book to be praiseworthy. When coupled with solid research on an important topic, a book is to be celebrated. Diana Mutz's In-Your-Face Politics: The Consequences of Uncivil Media is of that type, though one might wish that the thoughtful analysis of the research findings had carried over to the prescriptions and the assessments of where in-your-face incivility fits into the larger picture of politica…
Game versus Substance in Political News
This chapter examines the game schema in news coverage. It argues that substance is often subordinated to the competitive game, particularly during election campaigns but also in governing situations. Moreover, because journalists tend to see politics as a political game, their reporting of policy leadership and problems is often framed in game-like terms The chapter discusses the game schema in theoretical perspective and looks at research on th…
Soft News Goes to War
Of Polls, Mountains
Polls are a prominent feature of U.S. election news coverage. Although polls are used to explain voter opinion, they are employed mostly to fuel horse-race coverage and to craft images consistent with the candidates' positions in the race. Moreover, U.S. journalists sometimes misinterpret polls by slighting the possibility that changes in candidate preference are the result of survey error rather than real change. On balance, U.S. journalists' de…
Political News Journalists
Most empirical studies of journalists' thinking and decision-making processes have been conducted as case studies of individual countries. They suffer from a considerable shortcoming insofar as they lack a larger context for assessing the validity of their findings. However, the question of how significant these findings are can be answered by use of comparative analyses, which include a range of different countries. The relevance of internationa…
The Search for a Standard
Communication scholars are frequently oblivious to the market constraints on the media. We often operate in an imaginary world of an unfettered press and an informationhungry public. This diagnostic problem limits our ability through research to strengthen the press as an instrument of democracy. By glossing over constraints on the press— most notably, its need to attract and hold an audience and therefore its need to respond to audience tastes—w…
The Old, and the New
Time and News
As traditional institutions have weakened, the news media have been expected to carry more of the burden of organizing public opinion and debate. In general, however, the news agenda is an unsuitable basis for political action. There are always critical problems facing society, but whether they play a large or small part in the news, and do so in a true or distorted form, depends significantly on how they conform to the time-driven demands of the…
International Relations and Politics
The News Media
Bad News, Bad Governance
There has been a quiet revolution in news reporting during the past few decades. The traditional descriptive style of reporting has given way to an interpretive style that empowers journalists by giving them more control over content. One consequence is a form of news coverage that focuses on the negative aspects of politics. This development contributes to the public's dissatisfaction with its political leaders and institutions and makes it more…
News decisions
Journalists in the Western democracies define themselves primarily as news professionals who are committed to a form of journalism marked by its objectivity and political neutrality. Yet they are also partisan actors whose political beliefs affect their news decisions. This conclusion is backed by evidence from a survey of journalists in five countries: the United States, Great Britain, Germany, Italy, and Sweden. In all five countries, there is …

The rebuttal round
More style than substance
Although important changes have taken place in television news since its emergence as the principal medium of presidential politics, the broad tendencies that marked television news in the 1960s are the same ones that characterize it today. Election television has always been longer on style than on substance. Yet, television's version of presidential politics has consequences—it helps to determine winners and losers, major issues and minor issue…

Television and the Less-Interested Voter
In pre-television American politics, electoral research documented that less-interested voters paid little attention to newspaper coverage of presidential campaigns. The result was that many Americans went to the polls possessing little information about the candidates and issues. Relying on evidence from a panel survey conducted during the 1972 presidential election, this article challenges the common belief that the widespread appeal of televis…
