  • This Version Has the Raw Data in an Appendix)
    Accepted for publication in 2020 by the International Journal of Communication, ijoc.org (this version has the raw data in an appendix) Podcasting as Public Media: The Future of U.S. News, Public Affairs and Educational Podcasts PATRICIA AUFDERHEIDE American University, USA DAVID LIEBERMAN The New School, USA ATIKA ALKHALLOUF American University, USA JIJI MAJIRI UGBOMA The New School, USA This article identifies a U.S.-based podcasting ecology as public media, and then examines the threats to its future. It first identifies characteristics of a set of podcasts in the U.S. that allow them to be usefully described as public podcasting. Second, it looks at current business trends in podcasting as platformization proceeds. Third, it identifies threats to public podcasting’s current business practices. Finally, it analyzes responses within public podcasting to the potential threats. It concludes that currently, the public podcast ecology in the U.S. maintains some immunity from the most immediate threats, but that as well there are underappreciated threats to it both internally and externally. Keywords: podcasting, public media, platformization, business trends, public podcasting ecology As U.S. podcasting becomes an increasingly commercially-viable part of the media landscape, are its public-service functions at risk? This article explores that question, in the process postulating that the concept of public podcasting has utility in describing, not only a range of podcasting practices, but an ecology within the larger podcasting ecology—one that permits analysis of both business methods and social practices, one that deserves attention and even protection. This analysis contributes to the burgeoning literature on podcasting by enabling focused research in this area, permitting analysis of the sector in ways that permit thinking about the relationship of mission and business practice sector-wide.

  • Song/Casting: Combining Podcasts and Songs to Create a Hybrid Medium
    Nate Sahr 1 Song/Casting: Combining Podcasts and Songs to Create a Hybrid Medium A Thesis Presented to the Honors Tutorial College, Ohio University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Graduation from the Honors Tutorial College with the degree of Bachelor of Science in Media Arts & Studies By Nate Sahr May 2021 Nate Sahr 2 Table of Contents Abstract 3 Introduction – What is a Songcast? 4 The Hypothetical Songcast: Preliminary Research & Codification 9 Storytelling in Podcasts 10 Storytelling in Songs 12 Parasocial Relationships 14 Music 16 The Actual Songcast: Creative Process 17 Evaluating my Songcast 30 Conclusion 32 Bibliography 34 Nate Sahr 3 Abstract In my creative project and associated paper, I explore a hybrid medium, songcasting, that combines the most compelling elements of podcasts with the most compelling elements of songs. For the creation of this specific songcast, I interviewed 7 talented storytellers to capture audio recordings of them telling stories. From these, I chose a story about a Minnesotan teenager and his sister exploring Australia in 1979, and I built my songcast around it. This story explores coming of age, what it means to live in the modern world, cross-cultural relations, and more. The music and narration are carefully arranged and fused together to provide an immersive listening experience. While this songcast highlights the medium’s strengths, it is only one example of the many possibilities of songcasting. By synthesizing music, an emphasis on parasocial relationships, and the storytelling modes of both songs and podcasts, songcasts stand apart as unique audio format. Nate Sahr 4 Introduction – What is a Songcast? Imagine a spectrum: on one side of the spectrum is the color blue, on the other side is the color yellow.

As the enclosed indicates—I am a concert pianist, having been a scholarship student at the Juilliard with the late Olga Samaroff- Stokowsky, and also having spent a summer with Josef Hofmann. My radio show----- "BERNARD GABRIEL VIEWS THE MUSIC SCENE" has been on the air nearly 7 years now-.....- and I interview such musical figures as: YEHUDI MENUHIN, SIR RUDOLF BING, ERICA MORINI, LILI KRAUS, LEON BARZIN, THOMAS SCHERMAN, EARL WILD, WILLIAM MASSELOS, JOHN STEINWAY etc. etc. I mention the above-------because, I imagine Artur Rubinstein might be tempted to do an interview, since I am a professional musician —and might not just do the usual generalized type of chat with him. My broadcasts are heard by a great many radio stations coast to coast-------via "NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO", and are heard independently over WFUV in NYC every Monday night---------- 9-9:30PM.

MASS MEDIA AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF AMERICAN POLITICS I. INTRODUCTION The importance of the mass media1 in today's society cannot be over- estimated. Especially in the arena of policy-making, the media's influ- ence has helped shape the development of American government. To more fully understand the political decision-making process in this coun- try it is necessary to understand the media's role in the performance of political officials and institutions. The significance of the media's influ- ence was expressed by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn: "The Press has become the greatest power within Western countries, more powerful than the legislature, the executive, and the judiciary. One would then like to ask: '2 By what law has it been elected and to whom is it responsible?" The importance of the media's power and influence can only be fully appreciated through a complete understanding of who or what the media are.
