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.

Cover has slight wear and soiling. The authors report findings from an Internet survey and a subset of questions administered by tele- phone among the American public in mid-2010 on US energy and environmental security. Key areas of investigation include public perceptions shaping the context for debate about a comprehensive national energy policy, and what levels of importance are assigned to various prospective energy technologies. Additionally, they investigated how public views on global climate change were evolving, how the public assessed the risks and benefits of nuclear energy, preferences for managing used nuclear fuel, and public trust in sources of scientific and technical information. They also reported findings from a national Internet survey and a subset of questions administered by telephone in mid-2010 on public views of the relevance of US nuclear weapons today, support for strategic arms control, and assessments of the potential for nuclear abolition. Additionally, they analyzed evolving public views of the threat of terrorism, assessments of progress in the struggle against terrorism, and tolerance for intrusive antiterror policies. Where possible, findings from each survey are compared with previous surveys in this series for analyses of trends. More
