Summary

"This book takes political scandal as the entry point for the study of comparative political communication. It explores themes such as how and why journalists construct their scandal stories, what kinds of narratives were told, the impact of political scandal, and what, if anything, this tells us about the putative power of the press." "The authors explore the role of the press as arbitrators of themes from the cultural repertoire, fixers of symbolic contents, and framers of narrative about political scandals. Using a variety of methodologies, the authors produce an innovative, richly textured account of narrations of political scandal that also provides insights into political culture."--Jacket
