Strong emotions felt by the public during catastrophes - even if experienced only vicariously through media coverage - are a powerful motivator of public opinion and activism. This is particularly true when emotional reactions coincide with attributing blame to governmental agencies or officials. By examining public opinion during one extraordinary event, the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Lonna Rae Atkeson and Cherie D. Maestas show how media information interacts with emotion in shaping a wide range of political opinions about government and political leaders. Catastrophic events bring citizens together, provide common experiences and information, and create opinions that transcend traditional political boundaries. These moments encourage citizens to re-examine their understanding of government, its leaders and its role in a society from a less partisan perspective. 606 $aPolitical psychology$vCase studies 606 $aPublic opinion$zUnited States$vCase studies 606 $aPublic administration$zUnited States$xPublic opinion$vCase studies 606 $aPolitical leadership$zUnited States$xPublic opinion$vCase studies 606 $aDisaster relief$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States$vCase studies 606 $aHurricane Katrina, 2005$xPolitical aspects 606 $aPress and politics$zUnited States$vCase studies 615 0$aPolitical psychology 615 0$aPublic opinion 615 0$aPublic administration$xPublic opinion 615 0$aPolitical leadership$xPublic opinion 615 0$aDisaster relief$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aHurricane Katrina, 2005$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aPress and politics 676 $a320.97301/9 700 $aAtkeson$b Lonna Rae$f1965-$01049484 702 $aMaestas$b Cherie D.$f1964- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465380203321 996 $aCatastrophic politics$92478534 997 $aUNINA
