Media and voters in Canadian election campaigns / Frederick J. Fletcher, editor.: Z1-1989/2-41-18E-PDF

"Volume 18 presents five studies on various aspects of the relationship between the media and electors. Some are based primarily on data from the Canadian National Election Studies, major surveys of voters during and after federal election campaigns. Others are comparative studies of important features of campaign communication: televised leaders debates and mechanisms for the provision of information to voters with special needs. They all reflect the normative assumption that the right to vote must include the right to sufficient information to make an informed choice"--Preface, page xx.
