 Free Download News Media Coverage of the Vice-Presidential Selection Process: What's Wrong with the "Veepstakes"? by Christopher J. Devine English | PDF | 2023 | 148 Pages | ISBN : 3031281659 | 2.7 MB This book provides the first systematic, empirical analysis of the media's approach to US vice-presidential selection (or the "veepstakes"). In their news coverage, Devine finds that media outlets typically treat vice-presidential selection as little more than a game-by focusing on how potential running mates might help to win the election, rather than how they might help the next president to govern. Based on an original content analysis of hundreds of veepstakes profiles from 2000-2020, this book quantifies the news media's relative emphasis on various selection criteria, in general and across different electoral circumstances. The analysis suggests that journalists generally fail to serve the public interest by emphasizing electoral over governing considerations. However, Devine also points to positive examples of media coverage that help the public to evaluate potential running mates' governing credentials, and suggests ways in which scholars, journalists, and citizens might encourage media outlets to provide more substantive, responsible coverage of the vice-presidential selection process in future elections.  Jody C Baumgartner, "The American Vice Presidency: From the Shadow to the Spotlight" English | ISBN: 144222889X | 2015 | 234 pages | EPUB | 2 MB It is quite possible that no elected office has been more historically maligned than the vice presidency of the United States. From the beginning of American politics the office has been the object of ridicule by scholars, pundits, humorists, citizens, and even vice presidents themselves. The perception among many is that institution and its occupants are at best irrelevant. Recent history would suggest otherwise, but as it stands no book exists that takes a detailed look at the new, impactful vice presidency that's been forged since Clinton/Gore took office. The American Vice Presidency fills an important hole in the literature available to those interested in the modern vice presidency. Concise yet comprehensive, this book is the fullest and most accurate examination of the office to date, covering the origins and constitutional roots of the institution, its history, and the slow transformation of the office starting in the mid-twentieth century. Jody C Baumgartner and Thomas F. Crumblin highlight major changes in vice presidential selection as well as the new and various roles that vice presidents are being asked to play in their administrations. The book emphasizes the increasingly substantive Vice Presidencies of Gore, Cheney, and Biden and both informs and spurs the debate surrounding what form and role the Vice Presidency will take on moving forward. ![Jimmy the King Murder, Vice, and the Reign of a Dirty Cop [Audiobook]](https://i121.fastpic.org/big/2023/0103/ad/359b8c14144fcd1a8cca9ba8b206f3ad.jpeg) Jimmy the King: Murder, Vice, and the Reign of a Dirty Cop (Audiobook) English | ASIN: B09WFVT8TZ | 2022 | 16 hours and 5 minutes | MP3@64 kbps | 429 MB Author: Gus Garcia-Roberts Narrator: Marc Vietor  Katie Walker Grimes, "Christ Divided: Antiblackness as Corporate Vice" English | 2017 | ISBN: 1506427995 | PDF | pages: 339 | 6.7 mb Bringing the wisdom of generations of black Catholics into conversation with contemporary scholarly accounts of racism, Christ Divided diagnoses "antiblackness supremacy" as a corporate vice that inhabits the body of Christ. Antiblackness supremacy operates as a unique form of oppression: it arises from the enduring association of blackness with slave status and plays a foundational role in processes of racialization and racial hierarchy in the United States. In fact, since non-black people often amass power at the expense of black people, much of "white supremacy" is more accurately described as "antiblackness supremacy."
