The State of Satire, the Satire of State
With All Due Respect
News Parody and Political Satire Across the Globe
News Parody in Global Perspective
As scholarly examinations of the US news parody programs The Daily Show and The Colbert Report multiply, we must recognize that American satirists claim no monopoly on the genre. Upon closer inspection, news parody appears as a truly universal phenomenon; in any culture where television is used as a means of disseminating authoritative information about the real, parody—what some have labeled, or mislabeled “fake news”—plays an increasingly impor…
Mr. Stewart and Mr. Colbert Go to Washington
The political satirists Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert are largely celebrated for their nightly television programs, which use humor to offer useful political information, provide important forums for deliberation and debate, and serve as sites for alternative interpretations of political reality. Yet, when the two satirists more directly intervene in the field of politics—which they increasingly do—they are often met by a chorus of criticism th…
The 'New' News as No 'News
Contesting the journalism frame as the basis for assessing US cable television news channels, this article argues instead for a focus on the branding and product differentiation practices that shape news content in the highly competitive cable marketplace. Politics, in particular, has become the central identifying brand marker, as cable news channels transform the raw material of public life into a variety of entertainment performances. The cons…
I Want My Talk TV
The persistent decline in network audience ratings has been a central factor in the institutional restructuring of broadcast television networks in the postnetwork era. While cable and other technological innovations provided audiences with viewing alternatives during the multi-channel transition, the vast array of digital technologies now available to consumers-and the migration of viewership across these new media platforms-has contributed furt…
More Than “Fart Noises and Funny Faces”
A Dialogue on Satire News and the Crisis of Truth in Postmodern Political Television
Satire TV
This work examines what happens when comedy becomes political, and politics become funny. A series of original essays focus on a range of programmes, from 'The Daily Show' to 'South Park
A Cultural Approach to the Study of Mediated Citizenship
The study of media and politics is dominated by three central but flawed assumptions: that news is the primary and proper sphere of political communication; that the most important function of media is to supply citizens with "information"; and that political "engagement" must necessarily be associated with physical activity. These assumptions are based on an instrumental orientation toward media. This article advances instead a cultural approach…
Vox Populi as Cable Programming Strategy
The author examines the transformation of the political talk show from the pundit variety to one in which the boundaries between expert and nonexpert opinion are much more fluid. Cable programmers now intentionally recognize and flatter the viewer through a new performance of style, incorporating “the people's voice” into programming via new communication technologies
