  • The Role of the Media in New Jersey's 2005 and 2009
    THE ROLE OF THE MEDIA IN NEW JERSEY’S 2005 AND 2009 GUBERNATORIAL ELECTIONS By RICHARD A. LEE A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School – New Brunswick Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Communication, Information and Library Studies written under the direction of Professor Montague Kern And approved by _________________________________________ _________________________________________ _________________________________________ _________________________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey October 2013 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION THE ROLE OF THE MEDIA IN NEW JERSEY’S 2005 AND 2009 GUBERNATORIAL ELECTIONS By RICHARD A. LEE Dissertation Director: Montague Kern During the first decade of the 21st Century, two developments affected the manner in which New Jersey residents obtained news and information about their state. The size of newsroom staffs at the newspapers covering the state was reduced substantially through buyouts, layoffs, cutbacks and consolidations, and the growth of the Internet altered the manner in which news was gathered, reported and disseminated, placing new demands on depleted news staffs. Although neither development was unique to New Jersey, there is a value in exploring their effects on the Garden State because of the role the media play in ensuring a healthy democracy, namely keeping citizens informed and serving as a watchdog over government and other powerful entities. If the media’s ability to fulfill this responsibility is compromised, there could be significant consequences. ii A content analysis of the coverage of New Jersey’s 2005 and 2009 gubernatorial elections, coupled with three sets of interviews with individuals involved in both campaigns, showed that the quality of news coverage declined during this four-year period.

The Monmouth University/Asbury Park Press Poll finds the state’s junior senator enjoys growing approval ratings while the field of potential Republican opponents is largely unknown. Currently, 47% of New Jersey voters approve of the job Booker is doing as U.S. Senator compared to just 20% who disapprove. Another 32% have no opinion. In December, his job rating stood at 37% approve to 21% disapprove and 43% with no opinion. Booker took office in October, shortly after winning a special election to fill the remainder of the late Frank Lautenberg’s term. Booker garners solid ratings among his fellow Democrats (66% approve to 9% disapprove), generally positive ratings among independents (41% approve to 23% disapprove), and negative ratings among GOP voters (24% approve to 39% disapprove). “New Jersey voters are just getting to know Cory Booker as their Senator and generally giving him positive reviews,” said Patrick Murray, director of the Monmouth University Polling Institute. “They feel they have seen enough to say he deserves a full term.” A majority (55%) of Garden State voters say that Booker should be re-elected to the U.S.
