Reviews

Arnold here does it all: he identifies important research questions, conducts extensive research to answer them, and interprets data carefully. This sophisticated and thoughtful study is the best yet of Congress and the press. Choice Arnold sets an ambitious goal: 'This book is the first large-scale study of how local media outlets cover members of Congress.' His ultimate success exemplifies how content analysis can illuminate a subject with empirical and systematic findings... This exploration constitutes a significant contribution to our understanding of Congress and the news media... [The book] has a timeless feel ... [which] seems to guarantee that readers will be learning from this book well into the future. -- Robert Klotz Perspectives on Politics
