Title: Information and public choice
Description: "Information and Public Choice addresses the factors that affect the content and reach of news coverage as well as its impact on public policy. The book addresses both market constraints that affect media - particularly news content - and the impact that news reporting has on economic and political choices. The authors examine the range of issues, including bias or slant in media report that the impact of market and nonmarket factors on news reporting, and the role of government regulation of the media sector in developing countries. A guide for those concerned about the impact of media on economic and political outcomes, Information and Public Choice draws attention to an under-researched yet important area of economics."--book jacket.
