Media Consumption and Public Engagement: Beyond the Presumption of Attention

by Nick Couldry, Tim Markham, Sonia M. Livingstone, et al.

Book Overview

Democracy is based on the belief that the media gets the attention of voters. But is this plausible in an age of multiplying media, disillusionment with the political system and time-scarcity? This book, now available in paperback, addresses this question, and charts experiences of 'public connection'.
