CABLE NEWS AND AMERICAN DEMOCRACY: MOVING FORWARD OR FALLING BACK by Robert Christopher Walter This paper examines traditional theories on how television news media operates in a democratic society and their application to a twenty-four hour cable news cycle. The study explores whether the switch two a twenty-four hour cable news cycle has enhanced or diminished the ability of television news to fulfill its theoretical role in the democratic process. The switch to a cable news format was found to have potential to enhance the positive role of television news media in democratic society, but was found not to have done so in practical application.
