Book Synopsis
Backed by careful analysis of public opinion surveys, the authors show how, despite changing American politics, those issues that receive extended coverage in the national news become more important to viewers, while those that are ignored lose credibility.

All that follows, whether it supports, modifies, or challenges their conclusions, will have to begin here." - Public Interest"
