"In Democracy Without Citizens, Robert Entman contributes some original criticism to the old debate [about the media and politics]. [He] avoids simplistically scapegoating politicians as cynical, media managers as greedy or readers and viewers as apathetic....This is an unusual departure from an often partisan and predictable body of literature."--The Los Angeles Times
"One of the strengths of the book lies in its examination of the pressures on the news media and how these pressures influence political reporting."--Journal of Communication
"Entman has produced a very thoroughly argued and concise text on a number of issues at the core of serious research into the relation between media, society, and the political process in the United States....it is with a sense of intellectual excitement that one reads the book, which constitutes a significant--and for once...too short--contribution to debate about media and politics in the USA."--Journal of Social Sciences "An outstanding treatment of
the media and politics--perfect for my upper-level course....Indispensable."--Patrick A. Pierce, Saint Mary College
"Accessible to scholars and non-scholars alike...the book is well worth reading for its ideas alone."--Journalism Quarterly
"Why haven't journalists cured journalism? Entman does a thorough fact-based diagnosis of the malady. But he also shows how needed reforms get lost in the maze of the media. A well researched book by an independent-minded scholar who cares about democracy, this work will be of much and lasting value."--James David Barber, Duke University

"Entman's study shows how media-fed demagogy robs citizens of essential information. It also provides a guide through--and possibly out of--the contemporary dilemma of American democracy."--George Gerbner, The Annenberg School for Communication, University of Pennsylvania
"An important contribution to our understanding of both the role and limitations of the press in advancing the democratic agenda."--Marvin Kalb, Joan Shorenstein Barone Center on the Press, Harvard University
"A deep and profound probe into the heartland of American Journalism. Brilliantly argued, a must read."--Anthony B. Chan, University of Washington
