Congress and the Media

Beyond Institutional Power

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Members of Congress have increasingly embraced media relations to influence policymaking. In Congress and the Media, Vinson argues that congressional members use the media to supplement their formal powers or to compensate for their lack of power to explain why congressional members go public and when they are likely to succeed in getting coverage.
