This book was released on 2004 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis presents an in-depth, exploratory qualitative content analysis of American reality-based courtroom television programming. Based on a detailed examination of over 200 hours of People 's Court and Judge Judy, the thesis theorizes the links between popular entertainment and public attitudes toward law, punishment and the legal system. The potential of these programs to shape popular attitudes toward the place of law in the lives of ordinary people is of particular interest here. In order to tap into the viewer's perspective, a purposive sampling of viewer comments fiom an Internet-based fan discussion forum was utilized. The primary method employed in analyzing the programs was a detailed textual analysis of the discourse of judges, litigants and fans. Drawing from the methodological insights of linguistic ethnographers John Conley and William O'Barr (1990, 1998) I closely analyzed the decision-making of the TV judges, the style of testimony presented by litigants and the overall morphological structure of both programs. Based on this analysis, I conclude that the two programs articulate very different models of law and justice corresponding to different socio-political orientations. People's Court presents a participatory-democratic vision of law that is grounded in liberal-legal notions of due process, individual rights and free speech, while Judge Judy offers an authoritarian vision of judgement and law centred on the moral discourses of personal responsibility, traditional family values, and harsh punishment for those who fail to learn from their past mistakes. However, while the two programs present their messages through different models of judicial process, both contribute to a reconceptualization of judgement as a source of spectacle and entertainment. I assert that reality-based courtroom TV is the leading edge of a movement toward a new culture of judgement marked by the multiplication of opportunities to judge and be judged; judgement fiom a distance facilitated by technology; the increasing use of judgement as a form of entertainment; and the incitement to not only 'judge for ourselves, ' but to judge ourselves against the normative yardstick of those marginalized litigants who turn to the TV tribunal as a court of last resort (Abstract p. III-IV).
Download or read book Television Courtroom Broadcasting Effects written by Paul Lambert and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 2013-07-05 with total page 495 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Court and policy makers have increasingly had to deal with—and sometimes even embrace—technology, from podcasts to the Internet. Televised courtroom broadcasting especially remains an issue. The debate surrounding the US Supreme Court and federal courts, as well as the great disparity between different forms of television courtroom broadcasting, rages on. What are the effects of television courtroom broadcasting? Does research support the arguments for or against? Despite three Supreme Court cases on television courtroom broadcasting, the common thread between the cases has not been highlighted. The Supreme Court in these cases maintains a common theme: there is not a sufficient body of research on the effects of televising courtroom proceedings to resolve the debate in a confident manner.

Book excerpt: Over the past 45 years, award-winning sociologist David L. Altheide has illuminated how media formats and media logic affect our understanding of social issues, of how political decisions are made, and of how we relate to each other. In this masterful, summative work, Altheide describes the media syndrome: how these factors shape our expectations of, and reactions to, both public and personal events. Ideal for courses on mass media and political communication, the book provides a detailed description of the media syndrome and its impact on daily life; uses historical and contemporary examples from Watergate to Edward Snowden; includes the changes in the ecology of communication from mass media to social media and its social impact.

Fearless."It's pretty safe to say that Spy was the most influential magazine of the 1980s. It might have remade New York's cultural landscape; it definitely changed the whole tone of magazine journalism. It was cruel, brilliant, beautifully written and perfectly designed, and feared by all. There's no magazine I know of that's so continually referenced, held up as a benchmark, and whose demise is so lamented" --Dave Eggers. "It's a piece of garbage" --Donald Trump.
Download or read book Encyclopedia of Television Law Shows written by Hal Erickson and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2009-10-21 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When media coverage of courtroom trials came under intense fire in the aftermath of the infamous New Jersey v. Hauptmann lawsuit (a.k.a. the Lindbergh kidnapping case,) a new wave of fictionalized courtroom programming arose to satiate the public's appetite for legal drama. This book is an alphabetical examination of the nearly 200 shows telecast in the U.S. from 1948 through 2008 involving courtrooms, lawyers and judges, complete with cast and production credits, airdates, detailed synopses and background information. Included are such familiar titles as Perry Mason, Divorce Court, Judge Judy, LA Law, and The Practice, along with such obscure series as They Stand Accused, The Verdict Is Yours Sam Benedict, Trials of O'Brien, and The Law and Mr. Jones. The book includes an introductory overview of law-oriented radio and TV broadcasts from the 1920s to the present, including actual courtroom coverage (or lack of same during those years in which cameras and microphones were forbidden in the courtroom) and historical events within TV's factual and fictional treatment of the legal system. Also included in the introduction is an analysis of the rise and fall of cable's Court TV channel.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Includes the plays Moj of the Antarctic, Desert Boy, Matt Henson: North Star and Muhammad Ali and Me This collection signals the emergence of a distinctive new voice on the British theatre landscape. Moj of the Antarctic is inspired by the true story of an African American woman who cross-dresses as a white man to escape slavery; taken on a fantastical odyssey to Antarctica. Time Out Critics’ Choice ‘The language is rich and densely poetic. Reveling in the materiality and playfulness of words, cracking open complex ideas like eggshells.’ - Total Theatre Magazine Muhammad Ali and Me is a lyrical coming of age story, following the parallel struggles of a gay girl child growing up in foster care and the black Muslim boxing hero’s fight against racism and the Vietnam war. ‘As a piece of stagecraft, an entertaining kaleidoscope of social and political history, only one description will do: this is a play that ‘floatslike a butterfly and stings like a bee.’ - WhatsOnStage Desert Boy, a time-travelling a capella musical, offers a sharp twist on the subject of knife crime, black youth and absent fathers. ‘...a spiralling journey through colonial history not unlike Dante’s introduction to the Inferno. The juxtapositions are sometimes startling, and often quite comic.’ - Guardian Matt Henson, North Star is a biographical tale of Arctic betrayal, mixed with Greenlandic folk tales; all about love, climate and change. These plays queer the boundaries of sex and race, fact and fiction, history and geography, poetry and politics to illuminate contemporary themes through a dynamic African Diasporic theatrical aesthetic that leaps off the page.
