\section*{Notable Quotes: Political Communication}

\textit{Lazarsfeld et al. 1944, p. 151}

``ideas often flow from radio and print to opinion leaders and from them to the less active sections of the population'' (Idea is controversial and disputed; From ``Creating Hypbrid Field'' Jamieson. p. 5 I think.)

\hfill \\
\noindent \textit{Katz, 1988, p. 367.}

``If television can make hundreds of millions of people feel something, that's a powerful effect-and one that's very neglected in our research. An example is the integrative effect of mass communication-the way in which the mass media can sometimes make the society feel as one'' (Katz, 1988, 367). (Found in ``Creating Hybrid Field'' Jamieson. p.9) \index{Emotions}

\hfill 

``Whereas the media had been thought capable of impressing their message on the defenseless masses,'' he noted, ``it now appears as if the audience has quite a lot of power of its own. Indeed, the fashion in research nowadays is not to ask `what the media do to people' but `what people do with the media,' or at least to be sure to ask the second question before the first'' (Katz 1968, p. 788). \index{Media}

\hfill 

\textit{Althaus, Scott. Chapter 8. Sage Handbook of Political Communication. p. 97.}

``Like the semicolon or the human appendix, one suspects that the typical normative assertion in political communication research is probably useless, and can therefore be tolerated so long as it does no harm.''
\index{Normative Scholarship}

\section*{Notable Quotes: American Politics Foundations}

\textit{Walsh 2012:}

``However, when we adopt a bottom-up approach and listen to what people themselves identify as important categorizations, other forms of consciousness become apparent (Geertz 1974).''

\hfill 

``There is a need in our scholarship for listening to the people we study and attempting to discover the categories that they use to understand politics.'' (Ibid, p. 519)

\hfill 

``We need to do more listening in the study of public opinion. We should pay attention to the social categories that people find meaningful, as opposed to the categories we presuppose are important.'' (Ibid. p. 531)

\hfill 

\textit{Zaller 1992:}

Zaller (1992) defines elite political discourse as providing ``a depiction of reality that is sufficiently simple and vivid that ordinary people can grasp it. . . . [I]t is unavoidably selective and unavoidably enmeshed in stereotypical frames of reference that highlight only a portion of what is going on''\index{Elites}

\hfill 

Zaller (1992) defines predispositions as ``stable, individual-level traits that regulate the acceptance or non-acceptance of the political communication the person receives''\index{Predispositions}

\hfill

\textit{Walter Lippmann 1914, p. 215}

``Once you touch the biographies of human beings, the notion that political beliefs are logically determined collapses like a pricked balloon.'' \index{Emotions}

\hfill 


\textit{Philip Converse, 1975}

``the most familiar fact to arise from sample surveys is that popular levels of information about public affairs are, from the point of view of an informed observer, astonishingly low'' (1975, p.79). \index{Political Knowledge} 

\hfill 

\textit{Paul Blumberg, 1990, p.1}

``America's embarrassing little secret... is that vast numbers of Americans are ignorant, not merely of the specialized details of government which ordinary citizens cannot be expected to master, but of the most elementary political facts --- information so basic as to challenge the central tenet of democratic government itself.'' \index{Political Knowledge} 

\hfill 

\textit{E. E. Schattschneider, 1960, p. 135-136}

\textit{Realist View:} ``It is an outrage to attribute the failures of American democracy to the ignorance and stupidity of the masses. The most disastrous shortcomings of the system have been those of the intellectuals whose concepts of democracy have been amazingly rigid and uninventive.''\index{Democracy} \index{Realism}
