Sex and Shock Jocks: An Analysis of the Howard Stern and Bob & Tom Shows Lawrence Soley Diederich College of Communication, Marquette University Milwaukee, WI Abstract: Studies of mass media show that sexual content has increased during the past three decades and is now commonplace. Research studies have examined the sexual content of many media, but not talk radio. A subcategory of talk radio, called “shock jock” radio, has been repeatedly accused of being indecent and sexually explicit. This study fills in this gap in the literature by presenting a short history and an exploratory content analysis of shock jock radio. The content analysis compares the sexual discussions of two radio talk shows: Infinity’s Howard Stern Show and Clear Channel’s Bob & Tom Show. Introduction The quantity and explicitness of sexual content in mass media has steadily increased during the past three decades. Greenberg and Busselle (1996) found that sexual activities depicted in soap operas increased between 1985 and 1994, rising from 3.67 actions per hour in 1985 to 6.64 per hour in 1994.

  • Spring 2021 (PDF)
    Spring Newsletter A Message from Legislator Sarah Anker Dear Neighbor, I hope this email finds you and your loved ones well. This year has brought many changes and challenges to all of us. Despite this, as a county, we have continued to work for the needs of our constituents while doing everything we can to keep residents safe. It has been heartwarming to see the ways our community has come together to support each other whether it was through personal protection equipment donations, food donations, or just calling a friend or neighbor to check in. It has been my honor to provide support and assistance during the Covid-19 pandemic as we deal with these very challenging times. I wanted to share with you that I was recently appointed to serve as the Chairwoman of Suffolk County's Health Committee in addition to already serving as the Chairwoman of the Seniors and Human Services Committee. I continue to serve as the Vice Chair of the Veterans and Consumer Affairs Committee and as a member of the Budget and Finance Committee, and the Environment, Parks and Agriculture Committee. In addition to sharing this new role with you, I want to provide information on past events, updates about what is happening in the district and upcoming events, and to spotlight our tremendous community members. Thank you to all that have contributed to our community through volunteering and community services! I am looking forward to when we can all come together and see each other's smiling faces in person again. Until then, please continue to be safe and well.
