The Opinion-Makers: The Washington Press Corps chronicles the inner workings of this formidable institution, presenting an incisive portrait of the journalists, correspondents, and media figures who translate the machinery of government into the daily news consumed by millions of American citizens.\n\nWilliam L. Rivers writes with the authority of a seasoned media scholar, arguing that the Washington press corps is not merely a passive observer of political events but an active participant in shaping public perception and, ultimately, national policy. Drawing on extensive research and firsthand knowledge of the Washington media landscape, he illuminates the complex, often symbiotic relationship between politicians and the press, raising urgent questions about objectivity, access, and accountability that remain as relevant today as when the book was first published.
