Media Politics - Shanto (Stanford University) Iyengar - Bog

This significant revision shows how current issues like the normalizing of "alternative facts," the management of the COVID-19 crisis, the 2020 election and Trump's exit from office, and the proliferation of social media fit into a larger understanding of political communication. Shanto Iyengar, a leading scholar in the field, makes contemporary research accessible and engaging with new examples and data throughout. No book illuminates more clearly how media influences politics and how politicians use media to get elected, stay in power, and achieve policy goals.
