The Political Interview - Broadcast Talk in the Interactional Combat Zone (Hardcover)

The landscape of broadcast news media is constantly changing, partly under the influence of changing technology but also due to changes in the social role of television journalism. The Political Interview: Broadcast Talk in the Interactional Combat Zone takes a sociological and linguistic approach to examining these changes, focusing on the discourse practices that are associated with them. Tracing contemporary developments in the ways that interviews with politicians are conducted in a range of televised formats, Ian Hutchby analyzes increasing tendencies towards conflictual interactions that may fundamentally impact the nature of political communication and the role of news interviews in the democratic process. Training the sharp analytical lens of conversation analysis on the actual discourse of live broadcast news, Hutchby's book is both timely-addressing academic and populist concerns about infotainment, dumbing down, and political mistrust among the electorate-and relevant to a range of specialists in sociolinguistics, communication studies, political studies, journalism and media studies, and sociology.
