Who Is Fox News?
On this episode of Who Is, host Sean Morrow explores the backstory of Fox News and its founders: media savant Roger Ailes and Australian billionaire Rupert Murdoch. A sophisticated mix of media and politics, what we know as Fox News is the result of a decades-long conservative effort, and has become a defining force in American politics and presidential elections. Featuring scholars who study conservative media and movements--A.J. Bauer, Reece Peck, and Khadijah White--as well as Caroline Heldman, who appeared on the network hundreds of times, and whose harrowing recollections of the behavior of major personalities echo in contemporary dramatizations like Bombshell and The Loudest Voice, among others.
GUESTS:
A.J. Bauer, Assistant Professor of Media, Culture, and Communication at New York University
Reece Peck, Assistant Professor at the City University of New York, Staten Island
Khadijah White, Assistant Professor of Journalism and Media Studies at Rutgers University
Caroline Heldman, Professor of Politics at Occidental College
