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. -

The Newsletter is online through the “Publications” link from the University of Queensland’s School of Journalism & Communication Website at www.sjc.uq.edu.au/ CURRENT DEVELOPMENTS 13.2 MURDOCH (1): DYNASTIC SUCCESSION Does Rupert Murdoch have a well-stated succession plan for News Corporation, the $25 billion international media enterprise? This was the question on the lips again of corporate analysts when it was announced (Sydney Morning Herald, 11 May 01, p.1) that Murdoch‟s third wife, Wendi Deng, is expecting their first child. Murdoch had one child (Prudence) by his first wife, Patricia; and three children (Elisabeth, Lachlan and James) by his second wife, Anna. Lachlan is seen as the most likely family member to succeed, eventually, Rupert Murdoch at the controls of News Corp, but if Rupert stepped under a bus tomorrow, News Corp‟s chief operating officer, Peter Chernin, would be expected to take charge. The news of Wendi‟s pregnancy came as a big surprise. Not even Murdoch seems to have expected it. An extract from Pilita Clark‟s second-day report in the SMH (12-13 May 01, p.3): “In an interview with the British Journalism Review magazine in late 1999, nearly five months after he wed Ms Deng, he was asked if he and his new wife planned to start a family. -
