Apprehending Politics - News Media and Individual Political Development

Informationen zum Autor Marco Calavita is Assistant Professor of Communication Studies at Sonoma State University. Klappentext This groundbreaking book examines the significance of the news media for the political beliefs and behavior of contemporary Americans. Relying on original. In-depth interviews with members of the group known as Generation X, Marco Calavita analyzes the memories and understandings of these individuals' political development dating back to childhood. Specifically, he focuses on the developmental significance of new media engagement in the context of institutions and phenomena like family, peers, schooling, and popular culture. Calavita succeeds where others have failed at exploring the inevitably contextualized and ecological nature of individual political development, and the specific roles of new media in that development. "Apprehending politics illuminates the subtle but fundamental power of news media in who we are politically, and how we got that way.
