It is also the subject of political discourse and rhetoric, with the media attracting the ire of political leaders around the globe: Donald Trump, for one, has repeatedly called journalists 'the worst people in the world.' Trump is not the first, nor will he be the last, leader to seek to focus our attention on the role of the media in electoral politics. Resilient reporting examines how election news reporting has changed over the last half-century in Ireland by means of a unique dataset involving 25 million words from newspapers, as well as radio and television coverage. In a timely and revealing study, the authors examine reporting in terms of framing, tone, and the distribution of coverage. They also focus on how the economy has affected election coverage as well as media reporting of leaders and personalities, gender, and the effect of the commercial basis of media outlets. The authors evaluate three broad hypotheses about Ireland's election coverage since 1969: the extent to which the norms of critical impartiality have survived, whether the media has shifted towards hypercritical infotainment , and the extent to which content has been influenced by exogenous factors - that is, political, social, and economic factors outside the media itself. The findings, which are drawn from a machine-learning computer system involving a huge content analysis study, will interest academics as well as politicians and policymakers internationally." --Back cover. 606 $aElections$xPress coverage$zIreland 606 $aPress and politics$zIreland 606 $aCommunication in politics$zIreland 606 $aPolitics$2mup 606 $aMedia, Information & Communication Industries$2bicssc 606 $aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / General$2bisach 610 $aCampaigns. 610 $aCommunications Reporting. 610 $aCommunications. 610 $aEconomy. 610 $aElection. 610 $aElections. 610 $aGame. 610 $aGender. 610 $aImpartiality. 610 $aInfotainment. 610 $aIreland. 610 $aLeaders. 610 $aLeadership. 610 $aMedia. 610 $aPolitical. 615 0$aElections$xPress coverage 615 0$aPress and politics 615 0$aCommunication in politics 615 7$aPolitics 615 7$aMedia, Information & Communication Industries 615 7$aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / General 676 $a324.94170824 700 $aBreen$b Michael$f1983-$01565050 702 $aCourtney$b Michael 702 $aMcMenamin$b Iain 702 $aO'Malley$b Eoin$f1973- 702 $aRafter$b Kevin 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793549703321 996 $aResilient reporting$93834372 997 $aUNINA
