Governing with the News

The News Media as a Political Institution - here are the question and answers. The ideal of a neutral, objective press has proven in recent years to be just that - an ideal.



In Governing with the News, Timothy E. Cook goes far beyond the single claim that the press is not impartial to argue that the news media are in fact a political institution integral to the day-to-day operations of our government. This updated edition includes a new afterword by the author that pays close attention to two key developments in the twenty-first century: the accelerating fragmentation of the mass media and the continuing decline of Americans' confidence in the press.
