New Media and American Politics cover

New Media and American Politics is the first examination of the effect on modern politics of the new media, which include talk radio, tabloid journalism, television talk shows, entertainment media, and computer networks. Davis and Owen discuss the new media's cultural environment, audience, and content, and evaluate its impact on everything from elections to policy making to the old media itself.

Davis and Owen have addressed the newest, most volatile variable in our understanding of American politics--the role of the so-called new media. That the role is major is unarguable; that Davis and Owen have provided important and valuable insights into its impact is equally unarguable. * Marvin Kalb, Director of the Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy at Harvard *
