Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
"Cohen has constructed a revised and refined version of the 'presidential news system' (the president, the news media, and the mass public) paradigm. He argues that as the 'golden age of television' evolved into the age of the new media in the late 1970s and early 1980s, a growing disconnect between the news and presidential support (approval) became apparent. Thoroughly grounded in political communication theory, this book is an excellent read on changes in presidential governance."--W. K. Hall, Choice "Theoretically, the book provides an important contribution... Methodologically, it ... enables the reader to gain a broad overview of basic literature and research collated in a single book... The book is a good resource."--Pinar Sayan, In-Spire Journal of Law, Politics, and Societies "This is an audacious attempt to provide an empirically based interpretation of the impact of a changing media environment on the power of the American presidency. In just over 200 pages Cohen develops a complex and multifaceted argument that should be widely read by students of American politics and of the interface between the media and politics more broadly."--Robin Brown, Political Studies Review "The Presidency in the Era of 24-Hour News stands as a welcome addition to the literature, particularly appropriate for assignment to upper-division courses on the presidency. Furthermore, Cohen's book belongs in an elite class of public presidency scholarship from this decade ... that merit mandatory inclusion on graduate presidential politics seminar syllabi."--Justin S. Vaughn, Political Science Quarterly "[I]f Cohen does not find empirical resolution to the puzzles of the presidential news system, he does the next best thing by skillfully illuminating important targets of inquiry for future research. For this he is to be commended, and The Presidency in the Era of 24-Hour News deserves a wide audience."--Glenn W Richardson, Presidential Studies Quarterly Read more...
