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
