Book Synopsis
Why do some issues go viral and then just as quickly fall off the radar? How is it that the media can sustain public interest for months in a complex story like negotiations over Obamacare while ignoring other important issues in favor of stories on "balloon boy"? This title deals with these questions.

Trade Review
"Making the News sets forth the deceptively simple-sounding argument that the news agenda is 'skewed' so that few issues reach and remain on the front page. By applying new methods to explain these patterns irrefutably and on a broad scale, Amber E. Boydstun makes a valuable contribution to the literature on political communication." (Reginal Lawrence, University of Texas at Austin)"
