“My 2015 research at the Shorenstein Center on the expansion of conservative media in the internet age, and its corrosive impact on the Republican Party, was the seed for the book I began in late 2018,” she explains. UPDATE: In Spring 2021, Jackie Calmes published a book that grew out of her research as a Shorenstein Fellow. Read related articles by Calmes in The New York Times, “As the GOP Base Clamors for Confrontation, Candidates Oblige” and in The New York Times Magazine, “Steve Deace and the Power of Conservative Media.” She argues that today’s conservative media now shapes the agenda of the party, pushing it to the far right – at the expense of its ability to govern and pick presidential nominees. This influence is troubling to leaders in the Republican Party, who Calmes interviewed extensively for the paper. She finds that beyond the big names and outlets such as Limbaugh and Fox, smaller local personalities also exert significant influence over listeners and politicians. A paper by Jackie Calmes, Joan Shorenstein Fellow (Spring 2015) and national correspondent for The New York Times, examines the increasing influence of conservative media on the Republican Party’s agenda.Ĭalmes traces the history of conservative media, from its founding after World War II to the present-day proliferation of talk radio and Internet personalities.
