Film Diplomacy: A Media History of Turkey-US Relations (Columbia UP, 2026) offers a powerful new account of how film shaped international relations and national identity. Drawing on previously unexamined and recently declassified archives in Turkey and the United States, Ayşehan Jülide Etem demonstrates how both countries used educational films to align institutional agendas and geopolitical interests. By tracing the transnational network of educational cinema, Etem uncovers how film functioned as infrastructure, circulating ideologies, organizing institutions, and training citizens. Moving beyond conventional accounts of propaganda and soft power, this book exposes how film was central to the making of modern Turkey and sheds new light on the media's role in global politics. Author Ayşehan Jülide Etem is Assistant Professor of Media Studies at the University of Virginia, where she also directs the Film Studies Concentration. A media studies scholar, Dr. Etem's research examines how film operates within infrastructures, how it is strategically sponsored, produced, exhibited, and circulated to shape public behavior, manage populations, and mediate power.

Boom to Bust is a timely investigation into the rise of Peak TV and the perfect storm that caused a rapid decline in Hollywood work. When Hollywood writers and actors went on strike in 2023, they drew attention to the rapidly changing nature of film and television production. In Boom to Bust, media industry experts Miranda Banks and Kate Fortmueller combine economic and cultural analysis and interviews with industry workers to capture the lived experience of Hollywood in crisis. Tracking major disruptions of the preceding decade—including the transformation of streaming services into studios, the overproduction of series during Peak TV, as well as #MeToo and COVID—the authors explain how the conflicting interests of studio executives, creative workers, and workers' unions compelled a renegotiation of the terms of work. Grounding readers in the history of Hollywood labor negotiations, the authors provide a road map to make sense of Hollywood's present—and what comes next. Miranda Banks is Professor of Film, Television, and Media Studies at Loyola Marymount University, author of The Writers: A History of American Screenwriters and Their Guild, and coeditor of Production Studies. Kate Fortmueller is Associate Professor of Film and Media History at Georgia State University and author of Below the Stars: How the Labor of Working Actors and Extras Shapes Media Production and Hollywood Shutdown: Production, Distribution, and Exhibition in the Time of COVID.

Steiny & Guru bring one of the greats into studio to pay their respects. Scott Ostler breaks down what it was like to cover three dynasties, Olympics, a World Cup, and much more! All hail Ostler...

For this pledge drive, listeners try their hand at a quiz. Today's theme is broadcast media history.   Photo: Edward R. Murrow lived here (blue plaque), Westminster (Matt Brown, CC BY 4.0, via Wikimedia Commons)  

The US government now demands to see your social media history before issuing a tourist visa or ESTA to that country. That includes Irish would-be travellers and sports fans if Ireland qualifies for the World Cup this summer. And Trump is already having an impact. Foreign visitors to the US fell 4.2% last year while international travel worldwide grew 4%. Joe spoke to Gloria Guevara the Chief Executive of the World Travel & Tourism Council who carried out the research and began by asking her what the US authorities would be looking for in our social media history.

On this episode of America at Night with McGraw Milhaven, McGraw is joined by Tricia Romano, author of “The Freaks Came Out to Write: The Definitive History of The Village Voice, The Radical Paper That Changed American Culture.” Romano reflects on the legacy of The Village Voice, its impact on journalism, politics, and pop culture, and how alternative media helped shape modern American discourse. Next, Blois (Bloyce) Olson, Chief Political Commentator at WCCO, joins the program to discuss the latest developments surrounding a reported fatal ICE-related shooting in Minneapolis. Olson examines the political and public reaction, the growing tensions surrounding immigration enforcement, and what the situation means for local leaders and law enforcement. The discussion sparks strong listener engagement, with McGraw opening the text line and asking whether ICE should continue operating in Minneapolis, leading to an active and spirited audience response on public safety, federal authority, and community trust.

Dr. Betto van Waarden, Assistant Professor of History at Maastricht University, discusses his new book Politicians and Mass Media in the Age of Empire. We begin by charting the technological developments of the 19th century and how it influenced the speed and scale of news production. Then, we discuss the rise of public opinion and how it affected the media's role in the political system. We spend the rest of the episode discussing publicity politicians, the transnational media system, and how many of the political dynamics we see today can be traced to the Age of Empire. 

Matthew d'Ancona and Matt Kelly again respond to your queries. They discuss the Trump administration's demand for visitors to hand over five years' worth of social media history, why political manifestos have got so long and whether Piers Morgan was right to give such lengthy exposure to Nick Fuertes.Plus they talk about whether the UK should be able to exert conditions on a sovereign state like Argentina when it comes to defence procurement, what's going on with the price of beef and which magazines they subscribe to.

HELP SUPPORT US AS WE DOCUMENT HISTORY HERE: https://gogetfunding.com/help-keep-wam-alive/# Josh Sigurdson reports on the insane new entry rules being pushed forward by the Department of Homeland Security and the Trump Administration which includes banning non-Americans from entry if they don't send in 5 years of their social media history ahead of time. This includes all of the visa-free countries. Not only is this dystopian, it barely scratches the surface! The legislation also includes submitting phone numbers from the last 5 years, email addresses from the last decade and "when feasible," IP addresses, photo metadata and biometric identifiers including facial recognition, fingerprints, DNA and iris data. Yes, retina scans. Not only will this destroy tourism, it doesn't make sense. Millions of elderly as well as younger generations don't have social media and never have. But that barely matters in the wide scheme of things. This is one of the most insane, blatant Orwellian attacks on privacy and free movement in US history. It may be THE worst. This comes the same week as multiple states mandate digital IDs for online use. Also, the same month that the Trump Administration pushed forward cameras on every highway and freeway with license plate readers and facial recognition to determine if people are suspicious in their driving behaviors and schedules. Social media was ALWAYS meant to be social credit. We have been saying this for around 18 years. As we warned, the Chinese model will be adapted to the United States eventually. China was a guinea pig state for technocracy, used by Trilateral Commission in order to trial run the internet of things. Criticism of government or politicians will get you banned from entry into the United States with this new rule. With the new AI regulatory centralization by the federal government, this technocratic nightmare is worsening by the day with mass surveillance suddenly being overlooked by those who would usually be against it as they were under Obama and Biden. What happened? How is this "winning?" This is a new Tower of Babel being built and normalized around us. What we were called crazy for predicting and warning over decades ago is now accepted by the very people who called us crazy. From the UK to Australia, from Canada to Mexico, from Europe to the United States, the digital surveillance system is well underway and none of this is a coincidence.

The US could soon ask travellers, including those from Singapore, to share up to five years of social media history as part of immigration checks. Is this a step toward national security or an overreach that will make travel more complicated and intrusive? On The Big Story, Nadiah Koh speaks with Cedomir Nestorovic, Professor of Geopolitics, ESSEC Business School, Asia-Pacific to break down the motivations behind the policy, the pushback it’s facing, and what it could mean for anyone planning to visit America.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tourists entering the United States could soon have to provide a five-year social media history. The proposed new requirement would affect those who are currently able to visit visa-free, including from New Zealand and the UK. It'll see officials requesting social media information, email addresses from the last decade, phone numbers, and information about family members. Australian correspondent Murray Olds says many Australians travel to the US every year, and this change will likely slow down tourism further.

Irish visitors to the US could be required to submit five years worth of social media history in order to enter the country, whether they need a visa or not.

In this episode of The Book Club with Michael Smerconish, Michael sits down with Graydon Carter, legendary former editor of Vanity Fair, to discuss his captivating new memoir, "When The Going Was Good: An Editor's Adventures During the Last Golden Age of Magazines." The conversation is filled with sharp wit, rich anecdotes, and reflections on a media era defined by luxury, talent, and cultural influence—from eyebrow ladies at Condé Nast to Concorde flights, iconic writers, and unforgettable stories. Graydon opens up about what made that era "golden," his life lessons, and why gratitude and grit were at the heart of his editorial success. After the interview, stick around around as listeners weigh in with their own "rules for life," inspired by Graydon's and Michael's personal philosophies. Original Air Date 6 May 2025 The book was published on 25 March 2025.

What were the top musical hits of Shakespeare's England? What lyrics were stuck in people's heads? What stories did they sing on repeat? The 100 Ballads project is a deep dive into the hits of early modern England—a kind of 17th-century Billboard Hot 100. Drawing from thousands of surviving printed ballads, researchers Angela McShane and Christopher Marsh have ranked the most popular songs of the period. These broadsides—cheaply printed sheets sold for a penny—offer surprising insight into the period's interests, humor, and even news headlines. McShane and Marsh discuss what these ballads tell us about moral norms, sensationalism, and everyday life. Some are instructive, some are bawdy, and some are unexpectedly feminist. This episode brings to life the soundscape of Shakespeare's world with clips from newly recorded versions of the most popular ballads and a look at how the team developed their ranking system. >> Explore the project and hear the songs yourself at www.100ballads.org Christopher Marsh is Professor of Cultural History at Queen's University, Belfast. He has published extensively on various aspects of society and culture in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century England. His most relevant book in relation to the 100 Ballads project is Music and society in early modern England (Cambridge, 2010). This is an overview of music-making in the 16th and 17th centuries, and it includes chapters on musicians, dancing, bell-ringing, psalm-singing and, of course, ballads. Angela McShane is an Honorary Reader in History at the University of Warwick. She is a social and cultural historian, researching the political world of the broadside ballad and the political and material histories of intoxicants and the everyday. She has published widely on political balladry, including numerous book chapters, and journal articles in Past and Present, Renaissance Studies, Journal of British Studies, Journal of Early Modern History, Popular Music Journal and Media History. She is also the author of a reference work, Political Broadside Ballads in Seventeenth Century England: A Critical Bibliography (2011). A monograph on the broadside ballad trade and its politics in seventeenth-century Britain is forthcoming with Boydell and Brewer. She is also a Co-Investigator for a related website and book project: “Our Subversive Voice: The history and politics of protest music 1600-2020.” From the Shakespeare Unlimited podcast.

In this episode, Justin and Matt speak with Andrew Culp. Andrew Culp (MA 2009, Ph.D. 2013) is a Professor of Media History and Theory and Program Director of the MA Aesthetics and Politics program (starting Spring 2023) in the School of Critical Studies and in the MA Aesthetics and Politics Program, California Institute of the Arts (CalArts). In his first book, Dark Deleuze (University of Minnesota Press, 2016), he proposes a revolutionary new image of Gilles Deleuze's thought suited to our 24/7 always-on media environment, and it has been translated into eight languages. With his second book, A Guerrilla Guide to Refusal (University of Minnesota Press, 2022), he arms the reader with critical theory as part of a journey through anarchist infowar, queer outlaws, and Black insurgency. He is currently working on two projects: a new structuralist theory of the state's arkhḗ, and a critical history of cybernetics from those subverting it from its inside. Culp's writing on these and other topics has appeared in Flügschriften, Radical Philosophy, symplokē, parallax, angelaki, Deleuziana, The Alienocene, and Boundary 2 online. As part of The Destructionist International, he also makes films and other media. His most recent is the experimental documentary Machines in Flames (2022), which explores the legacy of techno-sabotage.

Budhaditya Chattopadhyay's book Sound in Indian Film and Audiovisual Media: History, Practices and Production (Amsterdam UP, 2023) is an exhaustive attempt to study film sound in the Indian subcontinent through artistic research. It aims to fill a significant scholarly void by addressing issues of sound and listening within the cultural contexts of the Global South. By developing a comprehensive understanding of the unique soundscapes of Indian film and audiovisual media, his study examines the evolution of sound, from early optical recordings to contemporary digital audio technologies. It unfolds the intricate ways in which sound contributes to the storytelling, emotional resonance, and cultural significance of Indian films. Chattopadhyay's research is informed by his personal experiences as a sound practitioner and through extensive conversations with leading sound professionals across the Indian subcontinent. This approach allows for a deep dive into the practical and creative processes that shape the auditory dimensions of Indian cinema. Broadly, Chattopadhay's work is a significant contribution to film history, sound studies, and media studies. Budhaditya Chattopadhyay is a media artist, researcher, and writer. He has an expansive body of scholarly publications in media arts history, artistic research, media theory and aesthetics in leading peer-reviewed journals.

The Server: A Media History from the Present to the Baroque (Yale UP, 2018) is a cutting–edge media history on a perennially fascinating topic that attempts to answer the crucial question: Who is in charge, the servant or the master? Though classic servants like the butler or the governess have largely vanished, the Internet is filled with servers: web, ftp, mail, and others perform their daily drudgery, going about their business noiselessly and unnoticed. Why then are current–day digital drudges called servers? Markus Krajewski explores this question by going from the present back to the Baroque to study historical aspects of service through various perspectives, be it the servants' relationship to architecture or their function in literary or scientific contexts. At the intersection of media studies, cultural history, and literature, this work recounts the gradual transition of agency from human to nonhuman actors to show how the concept of the digital server stems from the classic role of the servant. Markus Krajewski is professor of media history at the University of Basel, Switzerland. He is the author of numerous articles and several books, including Paper Machines: About Cards and Catalogs, 1548–1929 and World Projects: Global Information Before World War I, which was awarded the 2007 Prize of the German Society for the History of Medicine, Science and Technology. He also works as a software developer and maintainer of his bibliography software Synapsen: A Hypertextual Card Index (www.synapsen.ch). Ilinca Iurascu is assistant professor of German at the University of British Columbia, specializing in nineteenth-century cultural studies and media theory. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. His research interests are Cultural Studies; Critical Theory; Environmental History; Medieval (Intellectual) History; Gothic Studies; 18th and 19th Century British Literature. YouTube channel. Twitter.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss Orson Welles' film, released in 1941, which is widely acclaimed as one of the greatest, if not the greatest, films yet made. Welles plays the lead role of Charles Foster Kane, a newspaper magnate, and Welles directed, produced and co-wrote this story of loneliness at the heart of a megalomaniac. The plot was partly inspired by the life of William Randolph Hearst, who then used the power of his own newspapers to try to suppress the film's release. It was to take some years before Citizen Kane reached a fuller audience and, from that point, become so celebrated. The image above is of Kane addressing a public meeting while running for Governor. With Stella Bruzzi Professor of Film and Dean of Arts and Humanities at University College London Ian Christie Professor of Film and Media History at Birkbeck, University of London And John David Rhodes Professor of Film Studies and Visual Culture at the University of Cambridge Producer: Simon Tillotson
