Why Americans Hate the Media and How It Matters
ISBN: 9780691147864 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. As recently as the early 1970s, the news media was one of the most respected institutions in the United States. Yet by the 1990s, this trust had all but evaporated. Why has confidence in the press declined so dramatically over the past 40 years? And has this change shaped the public's political behavior? This book examines waning public trust in the institutional news media within the context of the American political system and looks at how this lack of confidence has altered the ways people acquire political information and form electoral preferences. Jonathan Ladd argues... As recently as the early 1970s, the news media was one of the most respected institutions in the United States. Yet by the 1990s, this trust had al... |

The Autumn of Dictatorship: Fiscal Crisis and Political Change in Egypt Under Mubarak
ISBN: 9780804760003 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Egyptian protests in early 2011 took many by surprise.

In hindsight, it is the durability of the Mubarak regime, not its sudden loss of legitimacy that should be more surprising. Though many have turned to social media for explanation of the events, in this book, Samer Soliman follows the age-old...

But defections from the Creole benches during the summer of 1975 had produced a...
