Sterling, Journalism and Mass Communication Educator "[An] important and quite ground-breaking study of American conservative call-in talk radio." -- Bridget Griffin-Foley, Australasian Journal of American Studies "the volume is useful not only for those who study media effects, but also for those who work in the area of political persuasion." -- David C. Barker, Public Opinion Quarterly "The volume exemplifies both rigorous and creative sciences. It is appropriate for many political communication and behavior university classes." -- C. Richard Hofstetter, Political Communication
