Political talk radio and democratic participation: Caller perspectives on Election Call
Article Abstract:
The series 'Election Call' is used as a case study, to examine the production context of the Election Call series and determine the experiences of the women callers and the men callers who took part in this series as members of the public. The study indicated that many callers wanted to hold politicians accountable and make them listen and take action, whereas some were happy because they got an opportunity to put an unrehearsed question to the politicians.

But where's me in it? Disability, broadcasting and the audience
Article Abstract:
Broadcasters are able to address the many objections of handicapped advocates in portraying disability and disability issues. Most of the criticism focuses on the lack of respect generally shown disabled characters. Disabled people could serve as program consultants, and guidelines adopted as early as 1992 could be enforced. Disabled audiences want broadcasters to show disabilities as part of daily life.
