""Right-wing media are often viewed as aberrations from the norm, or problems to be addressed. News on the Right takes a different approach - one that treats this long-standing phenomenon as a form of 'meaning making' that is 'deeply interwoven' into the worldview of many conservatives, and as a form of journalism that blends reporting and commentary into resonant ideological narratives. This volume provides important insights into conservative news cultures and makes a compelling case for conservative media as a 'rich site of inquiry' for scholars."" -- Michael X. Delli Carpini, Annenberg School for Communication, University of Pennsylvania ""News on the Right offers a broad and rich exploration of conservative news, covering its history, institutions, cultural forms and political consequences. Lively case studies, full of historical and cultural context, add a new dimension to our understanding of the production of news in an increasingly complex media ecosystem, and give us invaluable insight on a key force in modern politics."" -- Daniel C. Hallin, Department of Communication, University of California, San Diego ""Anyone interested in a nuanced historical understanding of how conservative media has been so successful in crafting an alternative epistemology tied to cultural identity within the American polity should read this book cover-to-cover. Its interdisciplinary approach is indispensable in offering the breadth and depth necessary for coming to terms with a political and journalistic phenomenon that is more than the sum of its parts."" -- Jeffrey P. Jones, Executive Director, The Peabody Awards, The University of Georgia ""How did we get from William F. Buckley to Sean Hannity? Or, for that matter, from a postwar conservative movement fueled by books, magazines, and radio to a contemporary political moment often propelled by the sheer rage of online media? This gripping volume offers a much needed interdisciplinary conversation about the past, present, and future of conservative and right-wing news media. It is a must-read for scholars of American news and politics.""-Heather Hendershot, author of Open to Debate: How William F. Buckley Put Liberal America on the Firing Line
