Et ce jusqu’au mois de novembre. Petite sélection de ressources pour suivre ces élections américaines et les comprendre. « Presidential » : un podcast du Washington Post 44 épisodes pour explorer l'héritage de chacun des présidents américains. Animé par Lillian Cunningham, Presidential invite des historiens lauréats du prix Pulitzer comme David McCullough et des journalistes comme Bob Woodward. Les derniers épisodes abordent bien entendu les élections de 2020. https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/business/podcasts/presidential/ Disponible également sur RadioPublic : https://radiopublic.com/presidential-WREZjG/episodes « Throughline » : un podcast de NPR Le slogan de cette série hebdomadaire de NPR est "Nous remontons le temps pour comprendre le présent". Un excellent montage sonore mêle les reportages d'archives et les récits des animateurs, expliquant comment les événements passés affectent ce qui se passe aujourd'hui. https://www.npr.org/podcasts/510333/throughline A NOTER : Le transcript des podcasts est disponible. Les derniers épisodes sont en lien avec les élections de novembre 2020 : OCTOBER 8, 2020 - (mis)Representative Democracy, A New Series From Throughline : America has never been a country of one person, one vote. And that's by design. Our system was built by a select few, for a select few. We were never all supposed to get a say. https://www.npr.org/2020/10/07/921212010/-mis-representative-democracy-a-new-series-from-throughline SEPTEMBER 24, 2020 - The Evangelical Vote : With the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the president is hoping to fill the seat with a more ideologically conservative justice. And evangelical Christians, who've become a powerful conservative voting bloc, have been waiting for this moment. But how and when did this religious group become so intertwined with today's political issues, especially abortion? In this episode, what it means to be an evangelical today and how that has changed over time. https://www.npr.org/2020/09/23/916048798/the-evangelical-vote SEPTEMBER 10, 2020 - The Postal Service : The US Postal Service has played a role throughout American history - from the Declaration of Independence to today's mail-in voting. It was conceived of by the founders as the way to create a united, informed and effective American democracy. But today, the postal service's future is in danger. How the postal service created the United States and the case for this pivotal institution. https://www.npr.org/2020/09/02/908836752/the-postal-service JUNE 11, 2020 - Presidential Power : What can and can't the president do, and how do we know? When the framers of the U.S. constitution left vague the powers of the executive branch they opened the door to every president to decide how much power they could claim. This week, how the office of the presidency became more powerful than anything the Founding Fathers imagined possible. https://www.npr.org/2020/06/09/873495248/presidential-power 2 Document réalisé par les documentalistes du SCELVA (Université de Rennes 1) – Novembre 2020 La campagne 2020 : faire le point avec podcasts et articles (en anglais) « The Daily » : un podcast du New York Times Conçu à l’origine comme un format temporaire pour couvrir l’élection de 2016, « The Daily » a été pérennisé pour fournir un espace d’analyse de la présidence Trump. Mené avec talent par Michael Barbaro, devenu depuis une star, « The Daily » continue de proposer cinq jours par semaine des reportages, interviews et discussions d’une qualité inégalée. S’appuyant sur les ressources internes du journal, mais pas seulement, Michael Barbaro et son équipe font en une trentaine de minutes, parfois plus, le point sur une actualité marquante. Chaque épisode fait l’objet d’une retranscription (disponible sur le site du journal), ce qui le rend un peu plus accessible, et en fait même un excellent support pour l’étude de l’anglais. https://www.nytimes.com/column/the-daily « Pod Save America » : un podcast produit par Crooked Media* Jon Favreau, Tommy Vietor, Jon Lovett et Dan Pfeiffer sont tous d'anciens collaborateurs du président Barack Obama (Favreau était le rédacteur des discours de Barack Obama).

Left, Right & Center : un podcast de KCRW* Left, Right & Center est un podcast se définissant comme a "civilized yet provocative confrontation over politics, policy and pop culture." L'animateur Josh Barro se positionne comme le "centre" de cette équation, et s'entretient avec des personnalités de droite et de gauche pour tenter d’apporter une lecture tranchée des événements ou des sujets abordés. https://www.kcrw.com/news/shows/left-right-center/#anchor *KCRW est une station de radio américaine, de service public, située à Santa Monica, en Californie.

All Rights Reserved. This dissertation titled Mediated Political Participation: Comparative Analysis of Right Wing and Left Wing Alternative Media by NUNE GRIGORYAN has been approved for the School of Media Arts & Studies and the Scripps College of Communication by Wolfgang Suetzl Assistant Professor of Media Arts & Studies Scott Titsworth Dean, Scripps College of Communication ii Abstract GRIGORYAN, NUNE, PhD, August 2019, Mass Communication Mediated Political Participation: Comparative Analysis of Right Wing and Left Wing Alternative Media Director of dissertation: Wolfgang Suetzl Democracy allows a plural media landscape where different types of media perform vital functions. Over years, the public trust towards mainstream media has been eroding, limiting their ability to fulfill democratic functions within the American society. Meanwhile, the Internet has led to proliferation of alternative media outlets on digital space. These platforms allow new outreach and mobilizing opportunities to the once peripheral alternative media. So far, the literature about alternative media have been heavily focused on left-wing alternative media outlets, while the research on alternative right-wing media has remained scarce and fragmented. Only few studies have applied a comparative analysis approach to study these outlets. Moreover, research that examines different aspects of alternative media such as content and audience reception is more rare. This study aims to demonstrate the heterogeneity of alternative media by highlighting their history and functions within the American democracy.

Some research has investigated motivations of podcasters and listeners using quantitive methods. However, little is known about perspectives of podcast users and producers with respect to technological and cultural changes in the medium. This dissertation outlines findings from interviews conducted with podcast users and a podcast producer that lays out thoughts about the medium on themes like technology, production, distribution etc. Page !3 of !79 Introduction Podcasting, an automated subscription-based system of recorded audio/video content powered by the internet, finds its origins in the early 2000s and witnessed wide adoption in 2005. This makes podcasting older than Facebook or Twitter, two very popular products of the internet age. Although, podcasting has not been able to replicate the same success as those social networking sites, it has had a few pivotal moments that left an indelible impact on the digital media industry.

Today’s podcasts are a major forum for the exchange of ideas, and many are calling this time the “renaissance of podcasting.” Born out of the marriage of public radio and the internet, podcasting has adapted to follow modern consumption patterns and the high demand for readily accessible entertainment. Podcasts are making New York City their home. The density of advertising firms, technology companies, major brands, digital media organizations, and talent has established New York City as the epicenter of the burgeoning podcast industry. New York City is home to the fastest growing podcast startups, which have doubled, tripled, and quadrupled their size in the past several years – in employment, office space, and listenership. New York City’s podcast networks are growing rapidly, reflecting the huge national audience of 42 million weekly listeners. Employment at the top New York City podcast networks has increased over the past several years, from about 450 people in 2015 to about 600 people in early 2017.

Copyright 2015 by Dana Emily Greenfield ! ii! ! To the memory of my mother Linda Brodsky, MD, who dedicated herself to continuous improvement and innovation, before it was fashionable. Acknowledgments I owe many thanks to the UCSF Department of Anthropology, History and Social Medicine (DAHSM) and the UC Berkeley Department of Anthropology. In particular, this work would not be possible without the guidance and insights of my committee: Vincanne Adams, Ian Whitmarsh, Cori Hayden and David Winickoff. As my dissertation chair, Vincanne provided hours of close reading and thoughtful dialogue to help shape the ideas and analysis that follow. Without her keen editorial vision, this work would be much less coherent. Ian Whitmarsh also provided so much expansive thought to this work and the years of graduate training that undergirds it. He always reminds us to “write at our edge,” where understanding begins to unfold. I thank Cori Hayden for her imagination and diagnostic acuity. From her, I have learned to find new openings and new ways to see the world ethnographically. Finally, David provides his incisive and discerning input, and serves as a model for living at the boundaries between theory and practice. Dawn Nafus provided critical readings of Chapter 2, and the opportunity to publish an earlier version of this material in a forthcoming edited volume.

  • The Opinion Podcast: a Visceral Form of Persuasion
    The opinion podcast: A visceral form of persuasion Alison Klein∗ 2/3/2020† Abstract: In this assignment, students create a podcast episode in which they make an argument on a topic in current events. Through this process, students develop traditional rhetorical skills such as awareness of audience, formulation of a thesis, and inclusion of compelling evidence, in a new context that allows them room for creativity and for approaching these techniques from a different angle. Accustomed to composing analysis essays and research papers on a computer screen, students who create an argument in the aural medium must consider the best way to grab and hold the listener’s attention so that the listener’s mind does not wander, and to convey information clearly and concisely so that the listener never needs to rewind. Additionally, students become familiar with audio editing software and other aspects of digital composition, and they explore a medium that may feel like a refuge in today’s screen-saturated world. All first-year students at my institution are required to take Writing 101, Academic Writing. My Writing 101 class, The Popularity of Podcasts, is themed around podcasting in part because of the explosive popularity of this medium: the first season of Serial reached 10 million downloads in seven weeks, and in 2018, 26% of Americans listened to a podcast monthly, up from 9% in 2008 (Edison Research, 2019). More importantly for an academic writing course, podcasts have great potential for analysis and modeling, as the extensive range of topics, styles, and formats allows for rich discussions of purpose, genre conventions, tone, and other aspects of composition.
