520 "While the newspaper op-ed page, the Sunday morning
political talk shows on television, and the evening cable-
news television lineup have an obvious and growing
influence in American politics and political communication,
social scientists and media scholars tend to be broadly
critical of the rise of organized punditry during the 20th
century without ever providing a close empirical analysis.
What is the nature of the contemporary space of opinion?
How has it developed historically? What kinds of people
speak in this space? What styles of writing and speech do
they use? What types of authority and expertise do they
draw on? And what impact do their commentaries have on
public debate? To describe and analyze this complex space
of news media, Ronald Jacobs and Eleanor Townsley rely on
enormous samples of opinion collected from newspapers and
television shows during the first years of the last two
Presidential administrations. They also employ
biographical data on authors of opinion to connect
specific argument styles to specific types of authors, and
examine the distribution of authors and argument types
across different formats. The result is a close mapping
that reveals a massive expansion and differentiation of
the opinion space. It tells a complex story of shifting
intersections between journalism, politics, the academy,
and the new sector of think tanks. It also reveals a
proliferation of genres and forms of opinion; not only
have the people who speak within the space of opinion
become more diverse over time, but the formats of opinion-
claims to authority, styles of speech, and modes of
addressing publics-have also become more varied. Though
Jacobs and Townsley find many changes, they also find
continuities. Despite public anxieties, the project of
objective journalism is alive and well, thriving in the
older, more traditional formats, and if anything, the
proliferation of newer formats has resulted in an
intensified commitment (by some) to core journalistic
values as clear points of difference that offer competing
logics of distinction and professional justification. But
the current moment does represent a real challenge as more
and different shows compete to narrate politics in the
most compelling, authoritative, and influential manner. By
providing the first systematic study of media opinion and
news commentary, The Space of Opinion will fill an
important gap on research about media, politics, and the
civil society and will attract readers in a number of
disciplines, including sociology, communication, media
studies, and political science"--|cProvided by publisher.
