Television News and the Supreme Court: All the News That's Fit to Air?
Author: Elliot E Slotnick
This book offers the most in-depth analysis of journalistic attention to the Supreme Court (primarily television) currently available. It combines penetrating and remarkably frank interviews with prominent Supreme Court journalists with extensive examination of videotapes of network television news coverage of the Court, to provide a comprehensive picture of how numerous constraints faced by reporters covering the Court (imposed by the nature of the television news industry and the Court itself) contribute to the pattern of infrequent, brief, and in too many instances, incorrect and misleading stories that are aired about the Court. The implications of this situation for the American public are explored.

Author: Yvonne McGivern
Back Cover Copy- McGivern
"We cannot recommend this book highly enough. In one volume, Yvonne McGivern has compiled an overview of all aspects of Market and Social Research. This is a must for all research practitioners, from raw novice, to the technically skilled old-hand." Clive Warren, Partner, CSA Recruitment, London, England
The Practice of Market and Social Research: An Introduction, 2e, provides a
comprehensive account of the techniques of market and social research and the practical
tasks involved in setting up and running research projects—from identifying the problem
to be researched through to reporting and evaluating the findings.
McGivern’s book covers qualitative and quantitative techniques, including a chapter on
the analysis of qualitative data—a topic which few texts in this market cover.
“An excellent introductory text for those seeking to find out more about market or social research
and a must have for those studying the MRS Advanced Certificate in Market and Social Research.”
Tamzie Hollands, MRS Course Leader, KingstonManagement Centre
Packed with real-life examples of research in action, the book is aimed at those preparing
for the MRS Advanced Certificate in Market and Social Research, at those doing
undergraduate and post-graduate courses with a research module and/or a requirement to
produce a research project or dissertation, and at research practitioners.
“I've used this book a huge amount and found it invaluable. I used it at work to help me set up research with radio listeners in the developing world and I've used it to help meplan research for my MBA dissertation. It guided me through the whole research process. Everything is clearly explained and very easy to follow.” Tim Moock, MBA Student, Universityof Bradford
