Shock Jocks and their Legacy: Introduction

DOI: 10.17077/pp.005144
Abstract
This is an introduction to a symposium of four articles on shock radio and its legacies for US media culture in the 21st century. It provides historical and global context for the rise of shock radio, and introduces four articles. These articles argue that while the shock radio format seems to have declined since its peak in the 1990s, it continues to flourish in a new ‘‘political shock’’ format and in the broader sexualization or ‘‘Sternification’’ of mainstream culture. Articles by Joy Elizabeth Hayes, Dana Gravesen, and Sharon Zechowski focus on shock jock Howard Stern, while articles by Zack Stiegler and Michael R. Kramer examine the cases of Michael Savage and Don Imus respectively.
