Lichter and his co-authors have also written on the social and political perspectives of popular culture, in books such as "Prime Time" and "Watching America," as well as on news coverage of science and health issues, in "Environmental Cancer—A Political Disease" and "It Ain't Necessarily So." His most recent books (written with Stephen Farnsworth) are "The Nightly News Nightmare: Television Coverage of Presidential Elections" (2006, 2nd ed.); and "The Mediated Presidency: Television News and Presidential Governance" (2005). These works use content analysis to examine the media's coverage of government and election campaigns.
