Fun Facts
Drawing from Dynamic Human Centered Communication Systems Theory (DHCCST), this study examines how humor influences the acquisition of factual information from comedic news, using an experimental design with a recognition task and a psychophysiological measure. Participants paid greater attention, indicated by heart rate deceleration, to facts that followed the presentation of a joke in the main stories on Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. Humo…
Nefazodone shortage in the United States
Although most patients transitioned to alternative antidepressants during the shortage, the need for treatment changes and the low rate of returning to the original medication may reflect challenges to patient-centered care. There is a need for clearer prescriber guidance to better support clinical decision-making during medication shortages
Spring of folly
This study examined how television political satirists responded to the catastrophic confluence of events in the United States from the murder of George Floyd on May 25, 2020, to his burial on June 9, 2020. Programs examined include The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Monologue jokes contained more gentle Horatian style satire than harsh Juven…
Funny You Mention It
Studies comparing comedic and serious news have found conflicting results as to whether the inclusion of humor benefits learning information from those shows. Other studies examining learning from comedic news without a serious news comparison, based on whether the humor was presented as funny or informational, have also found conflicting results. This review offers some explanations for those conflicting findings, focusing on the methods and the…
Irony and outrage
In Irony and Outrage, Dannagal Goldthwaite Young equates the genres of liberal satire and conservative political talk shows, suggesting both are the result of a changing media landscape, growing public distrust of the media, and increasing political polarization. While clearly different, these genres, Young argues, serve similar needs and have similar effects on their audiences. The difference in the attraction to outrage talk programming on the …
No Joke
This study examined substantive political coverage of the first presidential debate and the political conventions in 2004 on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and the broadcast television networks' nightly newscasts. The study found the networks' coverage to be more hype than substance and coverage on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart to be more humor than substance. The amount of substantive information in The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and the bro…
The Role of Typical and Atypical Events in Story Memory
To understand how viewers or readers process and remember media narratives such as entertainment, news, and information is critical to our understanding of the mental processing of television and other media. Media stories contain both typical and atypical events and people, but little is known about how readers or viewers process and remember these two types of information. Participants in 2 experiments remembered atypical story items much bette…

Mountaintop Removal in West Virginia
This article provides an analysis of one of the most ecologically and socially destructive strip-mining techniques, mountaintop removal, in one of the poorest regions in the United States, West Virginia. It is argued that West Virginia has become an environmental sacrifice zone, providing efficient, low-sulfur coal to the centers of accumulation and consumption at the expense of its own environment and community. Feeding this process is a system …
