Political participation

Bucy is one of my current profs

Media participation - A legitimizing mechanism of mass democracy
Erik Bucy and Kimberly S. Gregson

pg 373
"...participation without power is more associated with low socioeconomic status; while power with or without participation is more associated with high socioeconomic status; the rich have numerous ways of influencing politics, the poor very few. Political influence depends not only on civic activity but class standing."
