    The Fake News: Examining the Image of the Journalist Through Weekend Update (Part I: 1975-1980)

    Lawrence Murray 2013-2014 J576 The Fake News: Examining the Image of the Journalist Through Weekend Update (Part I: 1975-1980) The Fake News: Examining the Image of the Journalist Through Weekend Update (Part I: 1975-1980) By Lawrence Murray 1 Lawrence Murray 2013-2014 J576 The Fake News: Examining the Image of the Journalist Through Weekend Update (Part I: 1975-1980) ABSTRACT The image of the broadcast news journalist is one that we can identify with on a regular basis. We see the news as an opportunity to be engaged in the world at large. Saturday Night Live’s “Weekend Update” brought a different take on the image of the journalist: one that was a satire on its head, but a criticism of news culture as a whole. This article looks at the first five seasons of Saturday Night Live’s “Weekend Update” and the image of the journalist portrayed by the SNL cast members serving as cast members from 1975 (Chevy Chase) until 1980 (Bill Murray and Jane Curtin). This article will show how the anchors’ style and substance does more than tell jokes about the news. The image of the journalist portrayed through the 1970s version of “Weekend Update” is mostly a negative one; while it acknowledges the importance of news and information by being a staple of the show, it ultimately mocks the news and the journalists who are prominently featured on the news. 2 Lawrence Murray 2013-2014 J576 The Fake News: Examining the Image of the Journalist Through Weekend Update (Part I: 1975-1980) INTRODUCTION: WEEKEND UPDATE Saturday Night Live is a sketch comedy show that debuted on NBC in 1975.

Senior Fellow, Governance Studies, The Brookings Institution; Columnist, The Washington Post PANELISTS: GREGG EASTERBROOK Visiting Fellow, The Brookings Institution JONATHAN RAUCH Guest Scholar, The Brookings Institution DIANA C. MUTZ Samuel A. Stouffer Professor of Political Science and Communication University of Pennsylvania 2 P R O C E E D I N G S MR. DIONNE: I want to welcome everybody here today. I want to thank Pietro Nivola, the Head of the Governance Studies Department and the Vice President of Brookings, for making this all possible because he had this idea that it would be interesting to discuss the whole idea of political polarization and out of that came a series of meetings and now this great book, Red and Blue Nation. I just want to tell you that there will be a book launch for Red and Blue Nation here in this very room on December the 8th. Congressman Tom Davis is going to give a talk. Diana will be joining us then along with Bill Galston, Tom Mann, Morris Fiorina, and I will be there too. By the way, my name is E.J. Dionne, and I am a Senior Fellow here at Brookings. That event will be moderated by Pietro and by David Brady who are the co-editors of the volume. You can see it is not quite back from the printer, but you can see the wonderful cover and you can take a look at the book which is outside the meeting room.
