Synopsis
A newly updated revision of a classic in the field of political communication.
Booknews
Positing that the essence of politics is communication-- especially in the Aristotelian sense of persuasion--the authors explore how people `talk' in the context of American institutions such as campaigns, Congress, the courts, the mass media, and the presidency. Centered on ideas common to the interactionist and dramatistic perspectives, they study the role of communication in separate chapters on each institution.
