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.

  • Brock's Word Against Hers
    Review Essay: Brock's Word Against Hers The Real Anita Hill: The Untold Story. By David Brock. New York: The Free Press, 1993. Pp. ix, 424. Jesselyn Alicia Brownt [Editors' Note: This October marks the second anniversary of the Clarence Thomas-Anita Hill hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee. In the wake of those hearings, the war of words has intensifiedfollowing the publication of The Real Anita Hill. First, in early April, the Wall Street Journalpublished an excerpt of the book on its editorial page.' Days later Newsweek published a laudatory piece by George Will ("assembles an avalanche of evidence that Hill lied").' Fellow conservative Mona Charen also touted the book in her syndicated column ("if this book is buried or ignored, Justice Thomas will have been raped twice ).3 The counterattack has been just as aggressive. The May 24 issue of The New Yorker weighed in with a rejoinder to the Brock book entitled "The Surreal Anita Hill." Its authors, Jill Abramson and Jane Mayer of the Wall Street Journal, are in the process of writing their own book about the Hill/Thomas hearings.4 As the Washington Post reported, "Brock demanded equal time, sending the magazine an eight- page rebuttal. The New Yorker almost never prints replies, but Editor Tina Brown called in the magazine's famedfact-checking department, which produced a 48-point memo rebutting Brock's rebuttal." In "Sleaze With Footnotes," New York Times columnist Anthony Lewis t Jesselyn Brown is a member of the Class of 1995, Yale Law School. In 1990, she was one of the recipients of the Feminists of the Year Awards from the Feminist Majority Foundation.

    7.2 Competing Information in a Free Press Standard 7.2: Competing Information in a Free Press Give examples of how a free press can provide competing information and views about government and politics. (Massachusetts Curriculum Framework for History and Social Studies) [8.T7.2] A girl holds The Washington Post of Monday, July 21st 1969 stating 'The Eagle Has Landed Two Men Walk on the Moon', by Jack Weir, Public Domain FOCUS QUESTION: How Does a Free Press Provide Competing Information about Government and Politics? Standard 2 looks at how a free press provides information about government and politics to people, both historically and in today's digital age. In many countries around the world, the press is not free and people receive one side only of a story about a topic or issue—the side the government wants published. A free press, by contrast, presents topics so people get wide-ranging and informed perspectives from which they can make up their own minds about what candidates and policies to Building Democracy for All 1 support (explore the site AllSides to see how news is presented differently depending on the platform). Central to free press is the role of investigative journalism that involves the “systematic, in-depth, and original research and reporting,” often including the “unearthing of secrets” (Investigative Journalism: Defining the Craft, Global Investigative Journalism Network).

  • News from SIMON & SCHUSTER
    News from SIMON & SCHUSTER FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Cary Goldstein, Simon & Schuster, 212-698-1122, [email protected] MAJOR WORK ON THE FUTURE OF NEWS AND MEDIA ACQUIRED BY SIMON & SCHUSTER New York, NY, February 26, 2015―Simon & Schuster announced today the acquisition of a major new book by Jill Abramson on the evolving state of media in the information age and what it means for the future of news. In her new book, to be edited by Simon & Schuster’s editorial director, Alice Mayhew, Abramson will explore the creative disruption that characterizes today’s news organizations, where net-native companies are gaining enormous popularity, while the venerable legacy institutions of the 20th century are struggling to both remain profitable and find new avenues for readership. “I've been a frontline combatant in the news media's battle to remain the bedrock of an informed society,” says Abramson. “Now I'm going to wear my reporter's hat again to tell the full drama of that story in a book, focusing on both traditional and new media players in the digital age.” Of the acquisition, Jonathan Karp, President & Publisher of Simon & Schuster, says, “The transformation of the news business is one of the most important cultural stories of our time. Jill Abramson has the talent, perspective, and journalistic chops to write the defining book on this revolution.” Jill Abramson is the former Executive Editor of the New York Times. In a 17-year career at the Times, where she held a number of senior editorial positions, Abramson was the first woman to serve as Washington Bureau Chief, Managing Editor, and Executive Editor.

  • Shakeup at NY Times Leaves Questions 14 May 2014
    Shakeup at NY Times leaves questions 14 May 2014 "Abramson did not address the staff and was all but hustled out of the building. The explanation that Arthur Sulzberger offered about newsroom management seems completely inadequate." Dan Gillmor, a journalism faculty member at the Arizona State University, also expressed skepticism. "If top exec in any other important industry left under mysterious circumstances, @NYTimes would launch a team of reporters to find out why," he tweeted. New York Times executive editor Jill Abramson arrives at the White House in Washington, for a state dinner in Alan Mutter, a former newspaper editor who is now honor of French President Francois Hollande on a consultant, said of the abrupt change" "We don't February 11, 2014 know if she jumped or was pushed but the meager information available suggests the latter." The New York Times abruptly replaced its first female executive editor, Jill Abramson, on Wednesday and named managing editor Dean Baquet as the first African American at the top editorial post. Abramson's departure was announced by the US daily's publisher Arthur Sulzberger, and the paper's own report said: "The reasons for the switch were not immediately clear." The sudden departure left many questions unanswered both inside and outside one of the nation's most prestigious news organizations. One Times staffer, Ravi Somaiya, said in a tweet that Sulzberger cited "an issue with management in the newsroom" but that no further details were known. Northeastern University journalism professor Dan Kennedy said the departure appeared irregular. "This was definitely not a normal change," Kennedy told AFP.

  • JOURNALISM at a JUNCTURE an Interim Report to the National Press Club Membership on the Nationwide 2008 Centennial Forums Program
    JOURNALISM AT A JUNCTURE An Interim Report to the National Press Club Membership on the Nationwide 2008 Centennial Forums Program. By Gil Klein Director, Centennial Forums Project January 16, 2009. For its 2008/9 centennial year, the National Press Club asked me to organize a nationwide series of forums to engage leading journalists, news media authorities, students and citizens in a conversation on “The First Amendment, Freedom of the Press and the Future of Journalism.” At each stop, we gathered a panel of print, broadcast and online journalists as well as a journalism academic or First Amendment scholar – about 130 in all -- to talk about where the news business is going and how to protect its core values as its underlying economic model changes. Crossing the Mississippi River a dozen times, I visited 24 states and the District of Columbia. The NPC president, former presidents and board members hosted events in another four states, and we held forums by live Webcast and two-way satellite communication from the Club to journalism school and public audiences in another six states. In all, the project reached thousands of people in audiences at 38 locations in 34 States and DC, usually at journalism schools, regional Press Clubs and civic auditoriums. Add in C-SPAN’s coverage of the New York City forum, broadcast on local community access television, university channels and public radio stations, as well as public radio interviews, and the project reached a nationwide audience of many thousands more. I bring you greetings from press clubs that co-sponsored our forums in Atlanta, San Diego, Denver, Milwaukee, New Orleans and Naples, Fla.
