内容説明
Politics is above all a contest, and the news media are the central arena for viewing that competition. One of the central concerns of political communication has to do with the myriad ways in which politics has an impact on the news media and the equally diverse ways in which the media influences politics. Both of these aspects in turn weigh heavily on the effects such political communication has on mass citizens.
In Making Sense of Media and Politics, Gadi Wolfsfeld introduces readers to the most important concepts that serve as a framework for examining the interrelationship of media and politics:
- political power can usually be translated into power over the news media
- when authorities lose control over the political environment they also lose control over the news
- there is no such thing as objective journalism (nor can there be)
- the media are dedicated more than anything else to telling a good story
- the most important effects of the news media on citizens tend to be unintentional and unnoticed.
By identifying these five key principles of political communication, the author examines those who package and send political messages, those who transform political messages into news, and the effect all this has on citizens. The result is a brief, engaging guide to help make sense of the wider world of media and politics and an essential companion to more in-depths studies of the field.

Grammar lovers beware.

We are reading "Making Sense of Media and Politics" in my mid-level Media and Politics course, and I cannot believe that a book this poorly-written (to say nothing of the editing!) is in use as a college textbook. The ideas and topics presented are valuable, but Wolfsfeld's writing and grammar is laughable. The persistent comma omissions, in particular, left me wanting to abandon the book after only a few pages. A reasonable person can only tolerate sentences like "Cultural bias doesn't however just influence which stories make it through the editing process it also has a major impact on how these news stories are constructed" for so long before they are driven to distraction and begin to deeply loathe the editor who sent such a monstrosity to the printers with his/her blessing. Frequent typos are equally distracting, and Wolfsfeld's halfhearted attempts at "in" references failed to engage or humor me.
I do not criticize the material presented--I think it is valuable and presents the reader with ways to make a more informed judgement about the vast amounts of information the media bombards us with daily. I do, however, take great issue with the actual presentation of that material. Several more rounds through the editing process would be the best thing that could happen to this sorry excuse for a college textbook. If I wanted to read something that sounded like an average middle-schooler wrote it, I would find an average middle schooler's notebook and peruse that instead.
Bottom line: if you are a literate, decently well-read human being, find a different book. If multiple glaring errors and embarrassing typos in every paragraph get you excited about reading, then by all means, buy it...you have my pity.

Enlightening and Entertaining, Wit and Wisdom

Finally a book that is both informative and entertaining and provides the basic tools to understand and analyze how the synergism of politics and media feed off one another. Wolfsfeld has a marvelous style, one that makes you feel like you are talking with a savvy friend who has graciously agreed to take behind the scenes of the political process. He does so with a wink and a smile to make sure you understand that while this is important stuff, it's critical to maintain a sense of humor. And that is perhaps the secret of this short but important addition to understanding of political communications today. Media & Politics is replete with references to current academic research and interlaced with Wolfsfeld's own insights and analysis, and therefore will become a "must read" in academic circles. It nonetheless is one of those rare books that easily cross the line to be supremely accessible to the layman. Enlightening and entertaining in equal measure, I highly recommend Making Sense of Media & Politics.

Excellent and Accessible!

This concise book captures the essential elements of the relationship between media and politics. While most political communication books focus exclusively on American media and politics, this book offers a more comparative approach, including an interesting chapter which contrasts the role of news media in peace negotiations in Israel with that in Ireland. I have adopted this book for my media and politics course and find that my students really enjoy reading it. Wolfsfeld introduces sophisticated theories in political communication using a conversational tone and fascinating examples. This book has greatly enhanced our class discussions!
