During the 1996 general election, Kathleen Hall Jamieson served as commentator
on the presidential debates for CBS News, on campaign advertising on
The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, and on the discourse of the campaign
for National Public Radio's Weekend Edition and CNN's Inside Politics.
She is professor of Communication and Dean of The Annenberg School for Communication
at the University of Pennsylvania and is also director of the Annenberg Public
Policy Center. Author of Dirty Politics: Deception, Distraction, and Democracy,
Jamieson is heralded as one of the most perceptive critics of campaign communication
because of her insights into past presidential campaigns, and because of her
hope for the future of public discourse.
