Description
From the National Review to Breitbart, from Fox News to Rush Limbaugh, conservative news is an inescapable feature of modern politics. Since the early days of mass communication, right-wing media producers have blended reporting with commentary, narrating the news of the day from a perspective informed by conservative worldviews and partisanship. News on the Right seeks to initiate a new interdisciplinary field of scholarly research focused on the study of right-wing media and conservative news. Editors Anthony Nadler and A.J. Bauer gather a range of voices, presenting an interdisciplinary investigation into the practices and patterns of meaning-making in the production, circulation, and consumption of conservative news. Traversing journalism, media and communication studies, cultural studies, history, political science, and sociology, this volume utilizes a variety of qualitative and quantitative research methods to elucidate case studies of conservative news cultures in the US and UK. Together, these perspectives show that a fuller understanding of right-wing media and its effects can be reached by treating these phenomena as deeply interwoven into many conservatives' lives and political sensibilities.

Reviews
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 *
