Processing Politics shows that average Americans are far smarter than the critics believe. Integrating a broad range of current research on how people learn (from political science, social psychology, communication, physiology, and artificial intelligence), Doris Graber shows that televised presentations-at their best-actually excel at transmitting information and facilitating learning. She critiques current political offerings in terms of their compatibility with our learning capacities and interests, and she considers the obstacles, both economic and political, that affect the content we receive on the air, on cable, or on the Internet. More and more people rely on information from television and the Internet to make important decisions. Processing Politics offers a sound, well-researched defense of these remarkably versatile media, and challenges us to make them work for us in our democracy. 410 0$aStudies in communication, media, and public opinion. 606 $aTelevision broadcasting of news$zUnited States 606 $aCommunication in politics 606 $aHuman information processing 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTelevision broadcasting of news 615 0$aCommunication in politics. 615 0$aHuman information processing. 676 $a070.1/95 700 $aGraber$b Doris A$g(Doris Appel),$f1923-2018,$01067507 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910466377503321 996 $aProcessing politics$92551300 997 $aUNINA
