This book presents a collection of studies on political interviews
in a variety of broadcast media worldwide. Following the growing
scholarly interest in media talk as a dominant form of political
communication in contemporary society, a number of eminent
international scholars analyze empirical material from the
discourse of public figures and interviewer-journalists to address
questions related to the characteristics, conduct, and potential
effects of political interviews. Chapters span a varied array of
cultural contexts: the U.S.A., U.K., Israel, Japan, Italy, Turkey,
Greece, Australia, Philippines, Finland, Brazil, Malaysia, Spain,
Venezuela, Montenegro, and the European Community, enabling a
comparison of the different structures and contents of political
interviews in societies from West to East. Authors bring an
interest in discourse and conversation analysis, as well as in
rhetorical techniques and strategies used by both interviewers and
interviewees, from different disciplinary viewpoints including
linguistic, political, cultural, sociological, and
social-psychological. In doing so, the book develops a framework to
assess the extent to which media political interviews and talk
shows, and regular news programs, play a central role in
transmitting accurate and genuine political information to the
general public, and how audiences can make sense of these programs'
output.
