Primaries: Defining the Battle in New Hampshire

After establishing the historical background of primary elections in the U.S., this fast-paced program focuses on the 2004 primary in New Hampshire to study the role of communication in the electoral process. Dr. Kathleen Kendall, author of Communication in the Presidential Primaries; The Washington Post’s David Broder; and other prominent experts analyze speeches, ads, news broadcasts, and all manner of interpersonal interactions as the candidates, their constituents, and the media construct a campaign dialogue. The key role of TV coverage, the media’s fascination with polls, and the impact of technologies such as digital cameras and the Internet are spotlighted. (23 minutes)
