(Mis) leading Britain’s conversation:The cultivation of consent on the Nigel Farage radio phone-in show

Abstract: In this article, I adopt the socio-cognitive approach to critical discourse analysis (CDA) to interpret the discourse found on the popular UK radio phone-in programme the Nigel Farage Show. Evidence emerged of positive self-presentation and negative other representation through denials of prejudice, discursive de-racialisation and the use of war metaphors and lexis referencing legality, criminality and the collective. However, the control over this forum was its defining feature which appeared to propagate an … Show more

“…Sebagai media massa, radio siaran banyak menghadirkan kedekatan (proximity) dengan pendengarnya. Interaksi tersebut bisa menjadi daya tarik radio melalui program siaran interaktif via telephone yang mampu menghadirkan beragam konteks topik perbincangan (Chichon, 2020). Unsur proximity ini juga juga menjadi alat transmisi budaya yang dilakukan demi mempertahankan budaya tempatan melalui konten siaran radio (Juditha et al, 2016;Podkalicka, 2008).…”

“…Nigel Farage, both as the leader of UKIP and later The Brexit Party has been adept at using both conventional -not limited to news formats but also for example entertainment shows -and social media for reaching out to his followers and disseminating his agenda (Gonawela et al 2018;Chicon 2020;Savage 2019). Further, he controversially had a slot in London Radio Station LBC, allowing him a further venue to disseminate his political message and populist rhetoric (Chichon 2020).
