It is also the subject of political discourse and rhetoric, with the media attracting the ire of political leaders around the globe: Donald Trump, for one, has repeatedly called journalists 'the worst people in the world.' Trump is not the first, nor will he be the last, leader to seek to focus our attention on the role of the media in electoral politics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eResilient reporting examines how election news reporting has changed over the last half-century in Ireland by means of a unique dataset involving 25 million words from newspapers, as well as radio and television coverage. In a timely and revealing study, the authors examine reporting in terms of framing, tone, and the distribution of coverage. They also focus on how the economy has affected election coverage as well as media reporting of leaders and personalities, gender, and the effect of the commercial basis of media outlets. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The authors evaluate three broad hypotheses about Ireland's election coverage since 1969: the extent to which the norms of critical impartiality have survived, whether the media has shifted towards hypercritical infotainment, and the extent to which content has been influenced by exogenous factors -- that is, political, social, and economic factors outside the media itself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The findings, which are drawn from a machine-learning computer system involving a huge content analysis study, will interest academics as well as politicians and policymakers internationally.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe authors are based at Dublin City University, Ireland. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMichael Breen is an Associate Professor at the School of Law and Government \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMichael Courtney is a Statistician at the Irish Central Statistics Office \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIain McMenamin is Professor of Comparative Politics and Head of the School of Law and Government \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEoin O'Malley is an Associate Professor at the School of Law and Government \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKevin Rafter is Professor of Political Communication and Head of the School of Communications\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 06, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42167630987399,"sku":"9781526119995","price":56.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/6fec09a3038a32421e7f2266d1fb62f3.webp?v=1733329160","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/resilient-reporting-media-coverage-of-irish-elections-since-1969-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
