Im nearly all established democracies, television has become the preeminent mass medium
Television is a visual, credible and easily digested format which reaches almost every househod.
providing the main source of political information. Im election campaigns。for instance, the
teleyision studio has become the main site of batde. The candidates participate through appearing
on interviews, debates and talk show: merely appearing on television confers some status and
recognition on them.

Of course, the political significance of television goes far beyond elections. Huge numbers of
ordinary voters watch the evening news and it is here,( A ),that television has most infuence.
Through their assumptions about newsworthiness, editors resolve their daily problem of reducing
a day's worth of world events to ( 1 ) than 30 minutes on the evening news.

Because news programs focus on the exceptional, often negative, their content is always an

unrepresentative sample of events. For example, policy failures receive ( 2 ) attenton than

policy successes. Similarly, corruption is a story but integrity is not. Necessarily。 television is a

television Ca rarely afford:( D ).For such reasons, quality newspapers remain the trade preSs
of politicS。 read avidly by politicians themselves.

In many if not all democracies、 newspaper circulations remain large. In Japan, Britain and

Scandinavia。most adults still relies more on the national press than on television for i

information and some studies there indicate that Japanese newspapers haVe more influence Over

the electorate's agenda.

Furthermore, newspapers also influence television's agenda: a StOry appearing on TV's evening

news often begins life in the morning paper. And when an elector SeeS a story covered both on

television and in the press, the combined impact exceeds that of either medium considered alone.
