This favorite of both instructors and students is a "behind-the-scenes" tour of news in American politics. The core question explored in this book is: How well does the news, as the core of the national political information system, serve the needs of democracy? In investigating this question, the book examines how various political actors-from presidents and members of Congress, to interest organizations and citizen-activists-try to get their messages into the news.
