"In politics, reason persuades but emotion motivates. This
outstanding book offers a fine contribution to our understanding of
how and why this form of communication achieves both goals."
--The US Army War College Quarterly, Parameters
"Jeffrey Berry and Sarah Sobieraj have written an important book
about a phenomenon that has been a major contributor to partisan
conflict and gridlock in Washington in recent years-the development
of an increasingly hyperbolic, emotional and negative style of
media commentary. The Outrage Industry will be must reading for
anyone who wants to understand why our political system is so
dysfunctional."
--Alan Abramowitz, Alben W. Barkley Professor of Political Science,
Emory University
"Amidst a changing media landscape, we are fortunate to have Berry
and Sobieraj as guides, mapping the terrain of an expanding media
genre. This rich and compelling analysis of the production and
consumption of outrage media is sure to inspire much-needed
discussion about the politics of today's news media and stimulate
new research on this powerful but understudied genre. The Outrage
Industry is essential reading for media scholars and students,
and
for all those concerned about the future of journalism in the
United States."
--William Hoynes, Professor of Sociology and former Director of
Media Studies, Vassar College
"The Outrage Industry provides a thorough, revealing look behind
the scenes of today's angry rhetoric and the networks and systems
that make it tick. The book is admirably empirical, thorough, and
nuanced, and it should be required reading for those trying to
understand our political landscape, how we got here, and the role
of media in building and reproducing political identities."
--Andrew Perrin, Associate Professor of Sociology, University of
North Carolina, Chapel Hill
