  • The Rise of Talk Radio and Its Impact on Politics and Public Policy
    Mount Rushmore: The Rise of Talk Radio and Its Impact on Politics and Public Policy Brian Asher Rosenwald Wynnewood, PA Master of Arts, University of Virginia, 2009 Bachelor of Arts, University of Pennsylvania, 2006 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Virginia August, 2015 !1 © Copyright 2015 by Brian Asher Rosenwald All Rights Reserved August 2015 !2 Acknowledgements I am deeply indebted to the many people without whom this project would not have been possible. First, a huge thank you to the more than two hundred and twenty five people from the radio and political worlds who graciously took time from their busy schedules to answer my questions. Some of them put up with repeated follow ups and nagging emails as I tried to develop an understanding of the business and its political implications. They allowed me to keep most things on the record, and provided me with an understanding that simply would not have been possible without their participation. When I began this project, I never imagined that I would interview anywhere near this many people, but now, almost five years later, I cannot imagine the project without the information gleaned from these invaluable interviews. I have been fortunate enough to receive fellowships from the Fox Leadership Program at the University of Pennsylvania and the Corcoran Department of History at the University of Virginia, which made it far easier to complete this dissertation. I am grateful to be a part of the Fox family, both because of the great work that the program does, but also because of the terrific people who work at Fox.

Office of the Fort Bend County Judge 301 Jackson Street Richmond, TX 77469 281-341-8608 The Office of the Fort Bend County Judge and the University of Houston at Sugar Land will be hosting a yearlong community initiative #diversityoverdivision focusing on art, diversity, social injustices and inclusivity. Following recent events including but not limited to the death of George Floyd and a history of injustice, we believe it is our duty to actively confront racism in all of its forms and support those on the right side of history. As one of the most diverse counties in the country, we represent the beautiful tapestry of people that work, live, and play together, and, as such, we have a responsibility to create and maintain an equitable environment for all. In this light, Fort Bend County in partnership with the University of Houston at Sugar Land will be hosting a series of initiatives in support of our diversity and especially our African American community. Our goals will help to foster a stronger, more supportive, and collaborative fellowship ready to join hands as we tackle the challenges of tomorrow. Our community initiative #diversityoverdivision will be hosting the yearlong series in collaboration with the University of Houston at Sugar Land and the Fort Bend County University Library. The series of initiatives include panel discussions on voter registration and the importance of voting, art demonstrations, mural unveilings, a photography competition, literary spotlights, a movie discussion, etc.
