Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Dallas Liddle, "News Machines: The Systems of Daily Journalism in Britain, 1785–1885" (Oxford UP, 2026)
Q: What was the most surprising finding about technology's role in these changes?
I found that technology often lagged behind market needs; printers and engineers came up with new machines only after the market demanded more output, and not the other way around.
Media, Power, and the Gaza Narrative
Q: How has the Western media coverage of Gaza evolved over the past two years?
The guest notes that coverage has shifted from a simplistic Israelis-versus-Arabs framing to a more nuanced, though still incomplete, portrayal that includes Palestinian suffering and occupation, but often lacks an analysis of the causal factors behind the violence.
Robin Andersen, "The Complicit Lens: US Media Coverage of Israel's Genocide in Gaza" (OR Books, 2026)
Q: What motivated you to write this book and who did you write it for?
I wrote it for the Palestinian people and, in particular, for Palestinian journalists on the ground who bear the brunt of dangerous reporting environments, including those working for Al Jazeera.
Jeremy Harding's Analogue Africa: Notes on the Anti-Colonial Imagination
Q: Could you outline the core idea behind Analogue Africa and how it maps onto the anti-colonial imagination?
The book traces how analog media—photography, film, newspapers, and other pre-digital forms—were used by African artists and their allies to articulate resistance, document realities, and imagine futures beyond colonial rule, while also acknowledging the risks of propaganda and the need to stay true to ethical values in cultural production.
Peter Richardson, "Brand New Beat: The Wild Rise of Rolling Stone Magazine" (U California Press, 2026)
Q: What made Rolling Stone viable beyond a flash-in-the-pan success in its early years?
The magazine benefited from a steady advertising base from music labels, a knack for landing big stories, and strategic placement of provocative images, such as Lennon and Ono nude photos, which drove newsstand sales and established its reputation for aggressive, boundary-pushing reporting.
