{"product_id":"9780199706136","title":"Typing Politics: The Role of Blogs in American Politics","description":"The power of political blogs in American politics is now evident to anyone who follows it. In \u003cem\u003eTyping Politics\u003c\/em\u003e, Richard Davis provides a comprehensive yet concise assessment of the growing role played by political blogs and their relationship with the mainstream media.  Through a detailed content analysis of the most popular political blogs--Daily Kos, Instapundit,  Michelle Malkin, and Wonkette--he shows the degree to which blogs influence the traditional news media. Specifically, he compares the content of these blogs to four leading newspapers noted for their political coverage: \u003cem\u003eThe Washington Post, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eThe Washington Times\u003c\/em\u003e.  He explains how political journalists at these papers use blogs to inform their reportage and analyzes general attitudes about the role of blogs in journalism.  Drawing on a national survey of political blog readers, Davis concludes with a novel assessment of the blog audience.  Compact, accessible, and well-researched, \u003cem\u003eTyping Politics\u003c\/em\u003e will be an invaluable contribution to the literature on a phenomenon that has reshaped the landscape of political communication.","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47110050021616,"sku":"9780199706136","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780199706136_p0.jpg?v=1763671434","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780199706136","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
