Description

This book makes explicit the historical, technological, and discursive links between gossip as a mode of communication, news media, and contemporary politics.

A Gossip Politic advances a new framework of gossip, applying the informal understanding of the term to news talk and political actors.

Authored by esteemed scholars in the fields of Political Science, Media Studies, Linguistics, and Sociology, chapters consider the influence of gossip on the press, the American presidency, and the public.

A Gossip Politic provides readers with a multi-faceted portrait of the ways in which gossip has influenced media history, shaped our understanding of democracy, and contributed to our current political landscape.
