New York: Oxford University Press, 2003. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. xvii, [3], 220 pages. Signed and dated by Jamieson on title page and just signed by Waldman on the title page. Lecture program where the authors discussed their book laid in. Includes Acknowledgment, Introduction, Conclusion, Notes, and Index. Chapters include The Press as Storyteller; The Press as Amateur Psychologist, Part I; The Press as Amateur Psychologist, Part II; The Press as Soothsayer; The Press as Shaper of Events; The Press as Patriot; and The Press as Custodian of Fact. How does the press fail us during presidential elections? Jamieson and Waldman show that when political campaigns side step or refuse to engage the facts of the opposing side, the press often fails to step into the void with the information citizens require to make sense of the political give-and-take. They look at the stories through which we understand political events--examining a number of fabrications that deceived the public about consequential governmental activies--and explore the ways in which political leaders and reporters select the language through which we talk and think about politics, and the relationship between the rhetoric of campaigns and the reality of governance. They explore the role of the campaigns and the press in the 2000 election, and ask whether in 2000 the press applied the same standards of truth-telling to both Bush and Gore. The events of election night and the thirty six days that followed revealed the role that preconceptions play in press interpretation and the importance of press frames in determining the tone of political coverage as well as the impact of overconfidence in polls.

Nice inscription from author pasted inside front cover. Cover has some wear and soiling.Some page soiling. Also another notation from previous owner below the pasted inscription inside front cover, with mailing label pasted there as well. This was written following the retirement of the author from more than fifty years of activity as a country weekly newspaper editor and publisher, mainly to hold up he mirror and reflect to any who might be interested in the ways of life in such a line of work and in such an environment; especially to allow the reader to note the changes that have taken place in this span of four score years. The secondary purpose of this book was to record in a lasting way those data and incidents likely to be of most interest to family members, friends, and acquaintances and 'to such of his posterity as may care for such a record". A third reason --or excuse --for this publication is to gratify the writer's innate love of writing. With the limited edition issued--most of which will be given to those likely to be interested--there is no possibility of its being other than a 'labor of love'. More
