Excerpts from the publisher's blurb:
Journalism and Political Exclusion provides a multi-method, integrated analysis of news production and news audiences, including a long-term study of community activists in a central Canadian city. During the seven-year fieldwork period, different groups of research participants completed questionnaires, wrote news diaries, and were interviewed in their homes while viewing network television newscasts. Clarke shows that frustrations with the informational limitations of television and other news media are accelerated among women and working-class news users who are often without opportunities to access alternative information sources … Through an examination of the everyday realities of both news production and news reception, Journalism and Political Exclusion also shows how the current “crises” of professional journalism heighten the level of political exclusion experienced by various social groups.

Endorsements:
"An exceptional piece of work by an accomplished scholar, Journalism and Political Exclusion sets a demanding standard for anyone attempting a unified analysis of journalism and media production, distribution, and reception." Greg Nielsen, Department of Sociology and Anthropology, Concordia University

"Journalism and Political Exclusion marks a welcome intervention on questions of communicative power, and the way that stratified audiences interact with news production and are systematically disempowered by journalism. This is an intellectually rich and stimulating book." C.W. Anderson, Department of Media Culture, City University of New York

Thanks for your time and attention,
Debra
