Fox Populism
«'The election of a populist, tabloid-friendly, norm-smashing reality television host might have shocked most American intellectuals - but it seems safe to say it would not have shocked Reece Peck. This brilliant, lucid, and wide-ranging book shines a light on Fox News and the larger media taste culture that helped propel Donald Trump to the Presidency. Essential.' C. W. Anderson, University of Leeds»

«'Reece Peck's Fox Populism is a deeply insightful study of the way Fox news has transformed media and politics in America. It is crucial reading for anyone interested in understanding the role of media and the nature of political hegemony in the new age of populist politics.' Daniel C. Hallin, University of California, San Diego»
«'Fox's style is its politics', writes Reece Peck. Drawing on substantial research, Peck develops this important insight into a convincing demonstration that Fox News draws its power from a percussive, battering-ram style, promoting the notion that a he-man performs conservatism with his fists.' Todd Gitlin, Chair, Ph. D. Program in Communications, Columbia University, New York»

«'The most important examination of Fox News published to date … a far-reaching illumination of the role Fox has played in rewriting the terms of American conservatism and in reshaping the nature of news itself … Peck argues compellingly that Fox emerges directly from the tabloid sphere - Rupert Murdoch's global print empire being only one piece of that equation - and as such amplifies the tabloid emphasis on working-class taste cultures.' Geoffrey Baym, Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly»

«'Fox Populism gives us an admirably clear and much-needed blueprint for future studies of the intimate, yet volatile relationship between mass media, populist movements, and American conservatism in the 21st century.' L. Benjamin Rolsky, Los Angeles Review of Books»
