Scandal and Silence

Scandal and Silence by Robert M. Entman is a thought-provoking exploration into the intricate relationship between the media and political scandals. Published in 2012 by John Wiley and Sons Ltd, this compelling paperback spans 280 pages and introduces a groundbreaking theory that challenges established beliefs. Entman, an internationally recognized scholar, asserts that rather than pursuing scandals, the media often neglect them, particularly when they involve politicians. Drawing from a diverse array of cases dating from 1988 onwards, including notable incidents involving George W. Bush, this book provides an in-depth examination of how the press covers—or fails to cover—political misdeeds. With insights into corrupt practices and the political aspects of press coverage in the United Kingdom, "Scandal and Silence" is essential reading for anyone interested in media studies, political history, and the dynamics of power. Discover the hidden narratives behind high-profile scandals and the silence that often surrounds them.
