Messengers of the Right: Conservative Media and the Transformation of American Politics
Description
This incisive history traces how conservative media evolved from a network of publications, broadcasters, and commentators into the organizational backbone of the modern conservative movement. Nicole Hemmer examines the rise of claims about liberal media bias, the strategies that turned audiences into politically engaged activists, and the relationship between media activism and Republican electoral power. Drawing on political and media history, the book reveals how the right reshaped American journalism, transformed the Republican Party, and changed the way citizens encounter political news.
