Recenzje

'… the Supreme Court still maintains a wary and watchful eye on the news media. Due to this strained relationship, there is relatively little research in the ways that the judges interact with the news media on a consistent basis … this volume is one step in reducing this gap in the literature … the scholarship present in Covering the United States Supreme Court in the Digital Age makes it a worthy read for those in the fields of both political science and media studies.' Kate Eugenis, Journalism and Mass Communication Quarterly
