News That Matters: Television and American Opinion, Updated Edition (Chicago Studies in American Politics) - Softcover
Almost twenty-five years ago, Shanto Iyengar and Donald R. Kinder first documented a series of sophisticated and innovative experiments that unobtrusively altered the order and emphasis of news stories in selected television broadcasts. Their resulting book News That Matters, now hailed as a classic by scholars of political science and public opinion alike, is here updated for the twenty-first century, with a new preface and epilogue by the authors. Backed by careful analysis of public opinion surveys, the authors show how, despite changing American politics, those issues that receive extended coverage in the national news become more important to viewers, while those that are ignored lose credibility. Moreover, those issues that are prominent in the news stream continue to loom more heavily as criteria for evaluating the president and for choosing between political candidates.
“News That Matters does matter, because it demonstrates conclusively that television newscasts powerfully affect opinion. . . . All that follows, whether it supports, modifies, or challenges their conclusions, will have to begin here.”—The Public Interest

About the Author:
Donald R. Kinder is the Philip E. Converse Collegiate Professor in the Department of Political Science and research professor in the Center for Political Studies of the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan.
Review:
“The book is in many ways a model of research reporting. Hypotheses are expressly articulated, methodology carefully detailed, data clearly presented and, best of all often convincingly explained. The result is a lucidly written work deserving widespread attention and serious, critical consideration. . . . It evokes admiration for confirming what many of us have long argued: the importance of television news for public opinion and politics.”
(David L. Paletz Journal of Communication)“The authors believe—and provide numerous ingenious experiments to assert—that a subtle but pervasive, deliberate but nonconspiratorial influence by television news is a central piece of what gives (all) U.S. politics its continuing structure.”
(American Political Science Review)“This splendid work will stand as a hallmark of social science research into the social and political effects of television news. The authors have put together a complex, integrated system of experiments testing the effects of television news that is equal to the complexity of the process by which viewers comprehend such information. . . . The conclusions are carefully and cautiously presented, making it one of the most readable works of experimental research.”
