Becoming Citizens in the Age of Television How Americans Challenged the Media and Seized Political Initiative During the Iran-Contra Debate
- Binding: Paperback
- Publisher: Univ of Chicago Pr
- Publish date: 09/01/1996
Description:
Thelen argues that the self-referential world of politics and journalism during elections excludes the concerns and voices of Americans, resulting in lower voter turnouts and increased voter apathy. Televised hearings and trials, however -- from O.J. Simpson to Anita Hill vs. Clarence Thomas to Oliver North and Iran-Contra -- have ignited storms of controversy and public debate. Focusing upon the spontaneous, unmediated reactions of American citizens to these events, Thelen discovers a new kind of political participation in which Americans shape their interventions.
