‘Thanks for being here with us’: Para-social interaction and the effects of pundit talk on the Hannity and Maddow shows

Contemporary American television news centers pundits as key voices in national political discourse. The most prominent pundits anchor their own programs, often during primetime hours, reaching large audiences . This paper analyzes pundits’ performance of a type of news talk that is designed to appear unscripted and therefore authentic, enhancing parasocial interaction (PSI) with viewers and affirming pundits’ roles as experts. Data collected from two of the most-watched pundit-helmed news shows— Hannity and The Rachel Maddow Show—suggests that pundits use greeting tokens, personal pronouns, repetition, and rhetorical questions during their opening monologues. We discuss the mechanisms through which punditry may contribute to political polarization by creating emphasis frames.

The Training for the Production of News Programs and Talk Show on Television for Students at Madrasah Aliyah Negeri 1 Karanganyar
 The digital era makes it easier for humans to get information. Information provision is now no longer dominated by the mainstream media. Ordinary people can now provide information to the public by utilizing social media and other internet-based channels, such as YouTubers, citizen journalists, and other content creators. Unfortunately, they have not fully mastered the ability to produce standard information to fulfill the public's right to obtain accurate, responsible information, referring to existing ethics of information. This training was expected to provide solutions to the above problems. The determination of students as training participants was due to their much more significant curiosity and energy to do creative things to provide more incredible benefits. The benefits are not only for the students but can also be picked by society. The training was conducted at Madrasah Aliyah Negeri 1 Karanganyar, Central Java. As a result, the students at Madrasah Aliyah Negeri 1 Karanganyar were able to produce audio-visual based works, especially in the form of television news programs and talk shows according to broadcasting standards.

Information Radio Stations Business FM, Vesti FM and Kommersant FM: a Comparative Analysis of the Morning Air

The article presents the results of the second stage of the research titled “Transformation of the content strategies of modern radio and television broadcasting in the digital environment” carried out by a research team of the Department of Television and Radio Broadcasting, Faculty of Journalism, Moscow State University. The authors analyze the content of the morning broadcast of all-news radio stations of Moscow FM band (Business FM, Vesti FM, and Kommersant FM) in the period of 2018.05.14 to 2018.05.20 chosen by the continuous sampling method. The comprehensive study required working out a questionnaire of 25 questions to analyze various parameters from air time, running time, and type of program to interactive communication with audience. The study shows that all the three radio stations demonstrate a stable broadcast schedule and strip programming. Business FM and Kommersant FM broadcast linearly in a continuous information stream. Vesti FM includes long analytical talk-programs with experts and guests interacting with the audience via SMS. The content-analysis of the three radio stations’ morning broadcast enables the authors to confirm a previously advanced thesis that Business FM and Kommersant FM fall into the category of all-news radio stations, whereas Vesti FM does not. The latter, despite its wide variety of interprogram and structural elements, is transforming its format into news talk.

A interface cognitiva nos processos de categorização e construção de identidades

http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1984-8412.2016v13n1p1094O artigo visa analisar as identidades atribuídas aos atores sociais participantes do Movimento Passe Livre no Brasil; e investigar como eles são categorizados pelo discurso noticioso. Fundamentamo-nos no argumento de que as categorias são marcadas por uma “instabilidade constitutiva”, ou seja, transformam-se a partir dos contextos (MONDADA; DUBOIS, 2003). Sobre o tema contexto, baseamo-nos nos pressupostos da Sociocognição. Isso proporciona que haja uma interface cognitiva entre categorização e construção de identidades. Analisamos notícias de divulgação on-line sobre o Movimento Passe Livre. Percebemos que, mesmo que haja uma mudança na categorização atribuída aos atores sociais do movimento, as categorias nominadas pelo discurso das notícias possibilitaram uma maior visibilidade social de imagens negativas desses grupos. O contexto foi considerado, nesses termos, como um dos elementos chave para que as categorizações e atribuições identitárias ocorressem.

New Science Brings Opportunity for Museums

Scientific advances in medicine and related fields demand an informed and participating public. However many established venues for public communication, such as the internet or news talk shows, become conflicted in their messaging, inserting doubt about the very processes of scientific progress and discovery.

Watching Barkha Dutt: turning on the news in television studies

This essay examines Barkha Dutt, host of the popular NDTV news talk show ‘We the People’, as a symbolic portal into the rise of television news celebrity culture in India's altering mediascape. The essay first situates Dutt's work as a reporter and a talk show host within the context of Indian television journalism's role in the democratic public sphere and then explores the implications of Dutt's class and gender identities for the hierarchies of celebrity status in commercial television news. In the end, this case study of Barkha Dutt argues that greater attention to India's exploding journalism industry – its star personalities, political economy, critiques of news programmes' and talk shows' representations and audience responses – will revitalize and enrich the evolving trajectories of television studies.

Distancing the extraordinary: Audience understandings of discourses of ‘radicalization’

The term radicalization proliferated in official and media discourses in the UK in 2005 and has become an anchoring concept in debates about jihadist-inspired political violence. This article presents original research from an investigation conducted in the UK and France in 2008–09 to elicit how audiences understand the term and concept of radicalization from multi-methodological analysis of their ordinary language. As a contribution at the intersection of media and security studies, our analysis indicates that audiences are aware of official and media discourses of radicalization, and that they establish disjunctures between those discourses and their own understandings of the concept of radicalization. Critically, these disjunctures are found in the way people talk about radicalization: in their use of language rather than the content of arguments expressed. In establishing these disjunctures through ordinary news talk, audience members position themselves as not-your-typical-viewer, making presumptions about other members of the same audience to which they belong. This supports Scannell's theorization of mass media as for-anyone-as-someone structures, through which individuals are able to articulate their own sense of difference and identity.

News talk: investigating the language of journalism

Written by a former news reporter and editor, News Talk gives us an insider's view of the media, showing how journalists select and construct their news stories. Colleen Cotter goes behind the scenes, revealing how language is chosen and shaped by news staff into the stories we read and hear. Tracing news stories from start to finish, she shows how the actions of journalists and editors - and the limitations of news writing formulas - may distort a story that was prepared with the most determined effort to be fair and accurate. Using insights from both linguistics and journalism, News Talk is a remarkable picture of a hidden world and its working practices on both sides of the Atlantic. It will interest those involved in language study, media and communication studies and those who want to understand how media shape our language and our view of the world.

Heterogeneous resources and the financial crisis: implications of strategic management theory

The recent financial crisis and subsequent economic downturn are among the most important global economic events since the Great Depression of the 1930s (Elmendorf, 2009). In response to these events, macroeconomists have mustered their traditional theories to understand the causes of the crisis and, equally important, what might be done to help the economy recover more quickly. On op-ed pages, news talk shows and – apparently – in the highest halls of governments worldwide, discussions about fiscal and monetary policy intervention have dominated much of the conversation about the crisis and what to do about it (Coy, 2009), and have led to talk of a return to the ideas of John Maynard Keynes (Fox, 2008). Economic policy decisions today, derived mostly from traditional macroeconomic theories, may have implications for the economy for decades to come (Elmendorf, 2009). Thus, the stakes are high, since the prosperity – and even survival – of billions of people around the world depend on a healthy and growing world economy. In the midst of this obsession with macroeconomics, we would like to propose an alternative thesis: macroeconomics, by itself, is not well equipped to deal with the current crisis and, in particular, a sole reliance on macroeconomic theory is likely to slow rather than accelerate economic recovery. The reason for this is that mainstream macroeconomic theories, whatever their stripe, all adopt the assumption that factors of production, STRATEGIC ORGANIZATION Vol 7(4): 467–484 DOI: 10.1177/1476127009346790 © The Author(s), 2009 Reprints and Permissions: http://www.sagepub.co.uk/journalsPermissions.nav http://so.sagepub.com

Social Networks, Political Discussion, and Voting in Italy: A Study of the 2006 Election

This article analyzes the role of interpersonal discussion networks and television as the key mediators of political information that can potentially drive citizens' electoral choices. The research relies on survey data of Italian voters in the aftermath of the 2006 general election. Findings show that the partisan intensity of discussion networks significantly affects the vote, so that citizens embedded in homogeneous partisan networks are more influenced than those who discuss politics within heterogeneous networks that do not uniformly support a unified political position. The effects of television news programs and talk shows turn out to be comparatively smaller than those of interpersonal networks, but are still significant for those programs and formats that attract politically diverse audiences. We interpret this result as a consequence of the increasing relevance of selective exposure in the Italian electorate, which has largely been documented by previous research. Thus, while the effects of interpersonal discussion networks seem to depend on the degree of their partisan intensity, the impact of television seems to be enhanced, in the Italian context, by a program's ability to present itself as less openly biased than most of the competitors, thus failing to elicit selective exposure by viewers. The main implication of this study is that interpersonal communication has a remarkable influence on citizens' choices, and it should be studied together with mass communication, as they both constitute crucial components of voters' information environments, although their effects depend on partially different factors.

High-Conflict Television News and Public Opinion

This research assesses whether conflict-laden news coverage affects public perceptions of political institutions and political elites in general. Particularly, is conflict-oriented television news coverage of politics contributing to negative evaluations of political institutions and their leaders? We present evidence from an experiment designed to address this question. Our experiment is constructed around media coverage of the State of the Union Address. We control for the source of news (CNN), and examine how CNN’s Crossfire and Inside Politics’ coverage and analyses of the State of the Union Address influenced the attitudes and perceptions of viewers. We find that conflict-laden television coverage decreases public evaluations of political institutions, trust in leadership, and overall support for political parties and the system as a whole. Our findings have implications for public opinion in an era of increased abundance of high-conflict cable news talk shows that turn the political process into a contact sport.
