While acknowledging that his opinions show a "change in tone" after the trials, Hockett stresses the long-term consistency of the justice's philosophy. He continued to manifest a belief in the need for a strong judiciary, tempered by the nuanced, fact-based pragmatism of the country lawyer he had been before he came to Washington. Hockett's chapters on Jackson underscores the need for a full-length, scholarly biography of the justice, one that emphasizes not only his years on the Court but also his New Deal career, his relationship with Roosevelt, and his experiences at Nuremburg. As a whole, New Deal Justice makes plain the importance of understanding the cultural and historical backgrounds not only of Supreme Court justices but of political figures in general. Although the book would have benefited from a more thorough analysis of the interrelationships among its three subjects, Hockett has added a significant piece to the puzzle of the mid-twentieth-century court. Crosstalk: Citizens, Candidates, and the Media in a Presidential Campaign.

While there has been ample progress in the field, most notable has been the change in tone in the research from "bad" news to "good" news. Interpretations from the most recent research in the area suggest that the news media do not perform as poorly as judged in the earlier decades, at least in terms of providing information to voters. Moreover, voters are now portrayed not as naïve citizens who are easily manipulated by the media, but rather more resilient to media manipulation, and active consumers of information for political learning purposes

Organizationally, on the other hand, both parties had made dramatic strides since the 1970s, when they had a minimal presence at the local level. The decade of the 1990s brought diverging trends to the two parties. The county chairs we surveyed in 2001 tended to be more active in performing campaign activities than respondents from ten years before. Republican chairs overwhelmingly thought their organizations were getting stronger, though, while Democrats were more pessimistic about their parties. The parties became more ideologically extreme between 1991 and 2001. It remains to be seen whether the Republican trend in grassroots activity will translate into electoral success.

Using a compilation of national and state media accounts of candidate attack activity from the 1992 Democratic nomination race, we seek to answer the questions -- are the intermediated attacks made by presidential nomination candidates random events or are they predictable consequences of measurable vari ables ? Moreover, when candidates attack, who is their likely target? We find that intermediated candidate attacks can be predicted based on a number of conditions. Among these conditions are competitive position ing, reward factors and media-related conditions. Moreover, the general foci of attacks appear to be limited to attacking those who are competi tively in the top tier. Attacks vary both in their frequency and in their nature depending on the competitive stage of the campaign. The system atic evaluation of these opponent-focused negative messages and their role in candidate strategy and voter evaluation is important for under standing presidential nomination politics and strategic communication in elections in general.

Using news coverage data from a sample of 21 state newspapers, three national newspapers, and the ABC World News Tonight, multivariate models of state and national candidate news coverage levels are estimated. The findings, although confirming the conventional wisdom that candidates who do well gain more media attention, also suggest that candidate activity can make a difference and that candidate factors can have a significant influence, whereas structural factors, such as the number of candidates competing, appear to have little influence on how the national and state media determine their distribution of coverage when other factors are present. Moreover, the state news media are strongly influenced by performance factors, but these are felt pri...

Those who have argue that the press does not cover regulatory policy with vigor. To assess this view, we compared what the Environmental Protection Agency did in one year with the coverage the agency received in two national newspapers in that same year. We find that the newspapers did not neglect the EPA. Although the newspapers certainly did not cover everything the agency did, they covered those regulatory actions that had the most direct impact on the public. The press gets out the message about regulatory actions that affect everyday life, shift policy in novel directions, and result in policy failure. Our findings suggest that scholars should pay more attention to the impact press coverage might have on the regulatory process.

While the same basic goals for campaigns apply, the tools to accomplish these goals have expanded.

We systematically examine how campaigns structure their messages, which messages are transmitted by the press to the voting public, and what factors influence the transmission of the campaign's message. We find that campaign organizations disseminate a variety of messages to the media. Our analysis demonstrates that national media organizations are most receptive to informative (logistical) messages disseminated by candidates who are at the head of the field and most hostile to substantive (issue‐oriented) messages regardless of their campaign of origin. By contrast, the state press is most open to substantive messages issued by lower‐tier candidates. It appears from our results that the media, more than the campaign, bear the responsibility for the emphasis on the horse race.

Utilizing a unique data set, we examine the influence of internal campaign factors as well as external media factors on campaign information dissemination during the invisible primary season. We find that both types of factors may influence the timing of press releases; as to content, however, media norms are less likely to alter a candidate's general strategic message, which is dictated by his competitive status and national stature.
