SC Ep. 5: Coverage of the Confirmation Process Polilogue
-
- News
Confirmation hearings for Supreme Court Justices have been wildly dramatic (Kavanaugh) and surprisingly calm (Jackson). What’s to account for the difference? Is it all just about the nominee—or is there something else behind it? In this episode of Polilogue’s special season on the Supreme Court we dive into how the media covers the confirmation process.
It’s not as simple as it seems—and not as easy to explain. How does the media do in explaining the process and helping the public understand what’s at stake? We also take a look at how the changing nature of the confirmation process has shaped media coverage.
