  • - Framing News, Public Opinion, and U.S. Foreign Policy
    by Robert M Entman
    £20.99

    Robert M. Entman develops a powerful new model of how media framing works - a model that allows him to explain why the media cheered American victories over small-time dictators in Grenada and Panama but barely noticed far more difficult missions in Haiti and Kosovo.

  • - How Emotional Appeals in Political Ads Work
    by Ted Brader
    £27.49

    Useful for those wishing to understand how American politics is influenced by advertising, this scientific study examines the effects these emotional appeals in political advertising have on voter decision-making.

    by Martin Gilens
    £23.99

    Drawing on surveys of public attitudes and analyses of more than 40 years of television and news-magazine stories on poverty, this book demonstrates how public opposition to welfare is fed by a potent combination of racial stereotypes and misinformation about the true nature of America's poor.

  • - Political Power and the News Media from Iraq to Katrina
    by W. Lance Bennett, Regina G. Lawrence & Steven Livingstone
    £12.49

  • - Attack Ads in Presidential Campaigns
    by John G. Geer
    £26.49

    Argues that when political candidates attack each other, raising doubts about each other's views, voters - and the democratic process - benefit. This study of negative advertising in presidential campaigns from 1960 to 2004, asserts that the proliferating attack ads are far more likely than positive ads to focus on political issues.
