Wilbur C. Rich focuses on the critical role played by the New York City media in the perception of mayoral leadership. Using interviews and words of journalists, Rich examines media coverage as both the architect and challenger of Dinkins' image. The making and unmaking of David Dinkins not only exposes much about the agency of African American politicians, but also reveals the fragility of electoral coalitions. 606 $aPress and politics$zNew York (State)$zNew York 607 $aNew York (N.Y.)$xPolitics and government$y1951- 615 0$aPress and politics 676 $a974.7/044092 676 $aB 700 $aRich$b Wilbur C$0960716 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821260903321 996 $aDavid Dinkins and New York City politics$93968560 997 $aUNINA
