"The book will be required reading for all scholars who study
social movements and media. Its findings add a great deal to our
understanding of how the news constructs the political
world."--Regina G. Lawrence
"An excellent review of public policy on nuclear weapons, media
coverage of peace movements' efforts to defuse them, and government
and media efforts to pre-empt activists' roles. . . . Rojecki's
position is well articulated and documented. . . . Well written,
thorough, accessible, and well worth reading."--Bill
Israel, Journalism and Mass Communication Quarterly
"Offers a well-documented and carefully crafted study of the
pivotal role that the news media play in the success or failure of
popular political movements. . . . Though many of the ideas here
are not new, Rojecki brings them together in a fresh and
thought-provoking manner. "--Pamela A. Brown, Journalism
History
"A very useful study, opening the door to public understanding of
how the communications media responded to one of the major
citizens' campaigns of modern times."--Lawrence S.
Wittner, ISIS
