Focusing on the evolution of political journalism, the book challenges the notion that sensationalism and infotainment undermine democracy. Through textual analysis and interviews with industry professionals, McNair presents a more hopeful view, highlighting the significant increase in political information available to the public. He argues that contemporary journalism has become more critical of elites, accessible, and comprehensive in its coverage, suggesting a positive impact on the democratic process despite concerns about quality.
