  • 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.

  • Exploring Message-Induced Ambivalence and Its Correlates
    Exploring Message-Induced Ambivalence and Its Correlates: A Focus on Message Environment, Issue Salience, and Framing Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jay D. Hmielowski, M.A. Graduate Program in Communication The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Dave Ewoldsen R. Kelly Garrett R. Lance Holbert (Chair) Erik Nisbet 0 Copyright By Jay D. Hmielowski 2011 1 Abstract Scholars across the social sciences (psychology and political science) have recently started to broaden the approach to concept of attitudes. These scholars have focused on the concept of attitudinal ambivalence, which is defined as people holding both positive and negative attitudes toward attitude objects. However, communication scholars have generally ignored this concept. Recently, communication scholars have emphasized the importance of looking at the complementary effects of consuming divergent messages on people‘s attitudes and beliefs. Although studies have started to look at the complementary effects of media, it is necessary to examine the relationship between the complexity of a person‘s communication environment and the complexity of their attitudes. Therefore, this study begins the process connecting the complexity of people‘s communication environment and the complexity of their attitude structures. The major goal of this dissertation is to look at the generation of ambivalence by looking at four important factors: a) the relationship between specific media outlets relative to the generation of potential ambivalence, b) how different individual difference variables moderate the relationship between different media outlets and the generation of ambivalence, c) pinpointing the message variables that may lead people to the generation of ambivalence, and d) how media, ambivalence fit into a larger communication process focused on different political outcome variables.
