Ordinary People and the Media : The Demotic Turn, Hardcover by Turner, Graeme, ISBN 1848601662, ISBN-13 9781848601666, Brand New, Free shipping in the USAs evidenced by the subtitle, this is an academic treatment of activities engaged in by ordinary people, such as reality TV, blogs and talk radio. Although the author is Australian, it explores examples from around the world, including attention to American phenomena such as the success of Rush Limbaugh after the removal of the Fairness Doctrine during the Reagan era. Although doubtful of claims that the media is democratizing discourse, the author does see YouTube and the growth of other social networking sites as some of the best examples of the emergence of new participatory cultures. The final chapter explores how the line between news and entertainment is getting blurred and how that content is increasingly being determined by commercial interests. Written by Turner (cultural studies, U. of Queensland), th periodically slips into a first person point of view which I found a bit distracting. Otherwise, it has some interesting ideas built on solid research.

The Demotic Turn, Buch, Hardcover, The ?demotic turn? is a term coined by Graeme Turner to describe the increasing visibility of the ?ordinary person? in the media today. In this dynamic and insightful book he explores the ?whys? and ?hows? of the ?everyday? individual?s willingness to turn themselves into media content through: · Celebrity culture, · Reality TV, · DIY websites, · Talk radio, · User-generated materials online. Initially proposed in order to analyse the pervasiveness of celebrity culture, this book further develops the idea of the demotic turn as a means of examining the common elements in a range of ?hot spots? in debates within media and cultural studies today. Refuting the proposition that the demotic turn necessarily carries with it a democratising politics, this book examines the political and cultural function of the demotic turn in media production and consumption across the fields of reality TV, print and electronic news and current affairs journalism, citizen and online journalism, talk radio, and user-generated content online. It examines these fields in order to outline a structural shift in what the western media has been doing lately, and to suggest that these media activities represent something much more fundamental than contemporary media fashion.
