“…Hence, life history research is an interview-based approach that attempts to allow participants to construct an emic and longitudinal narrative of their own life experiences (Bourdon, 2003). The use of life history exploration as a research method dates back to the 1920s.…”

The study explores 33 occupational life histories of current and former Israeli journalists. By doing so, it enables us to better understand how the fundamental changes that the journalistic profession underwent during recent decades shaped and influenced the occupational progression of Israeli journalists. Our interviews validate previous work on the partial professional standing of journalism showing that individuals enter journalism in a protracted and uneven manner. In addition, the analysis of modes of reasoning for entering journalism charts the informal boundaries of overt journalistic political identification. Finally, an exploration of self-narrated occupational highs and lows shows that career highs are always identified as personal achievements while career lows are mostly narrated as outcomes of larger organizational or institutional constraints. The current chaotic nature of journalism organizations, as reflected in our life history corpus, illustrates an environment in which there is a clear disconnect between actions and rewards.Given the inherent significance of journalism in the preservation of a free society and its essential role in monitoring the powers that be (Ettema and Glasser, 1998) the examination of journalistic work and its meaning has been operationalized via a multitude of research strategies and methodologies (Wahl-Jorgensen and Hanitzsch, 2008).

“…The interviews consisted of two main parts. In the first part the participants were invited to recount their memories of television from earliest memories, moving through the different stages of the life cycle, following the usual techniques of oral history interviewing (e.g., Ritchie 2003) but adapted for the purpose of investigating media history (e.g., Bourdon 2003). In the second part selected excerpts were used to prompt further recollections of particular programmes and genres as well as practices of viewing and everyday life associated with them.…”

The challenge of flow: state socialist television between revolutionary time and everyday time

This article contributes to the growing literature on diverse television cultures globally and historically by examining selected aspects of television cultures in the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia. Being part of a political, economic and cultural system that self-consciously set out to develop an alternative form of modern society, state socialist television offers a particularly apposite case study of alternative forms of modern television. State socialist television was inevitably drawn into the Cold War contest between two rival visions of modernity and modern life: one premised on liberal democracy and the market economy, the other on communist rule and the planned economy. As a result, its formats, content and uses were different from those familiar from western television histories. The analysis, based on 70 life-story interviews, schedule analysis and archival sources, focuses on the temporal structures of television and on the challenges posed by television's ability to offer an instantaneous connection to the unfolding present. We argue that the nature of television temporality had ambiguous consequences for the communist project, allowing citizens of state socialist countries to disconnect from communist ideals while at the same time synchronizing their daily life with the ongoing march towards the radiant communist future.

“…Neste caso, designamos por entrevistas biográficas uma metodologia, já utilizada noutras pesquisas de história oral sobre audiências (Bourdon, 2003), que combina várias entrevistas semiestruturadas, a primeira das quais procura reconstituir a "história de vida" do participante, e as entrevistas posteriores abordam as várias fases de vida em busca de memórias mediáticas, que frequentemente se encontram ancoradas a situações familiares ('os primeiros anos de casada'), profissionais ('quando recebi o primeiro ordenado') ou a outras experiências pessoais. É claro que a história oral requer cautelas de verificação e cruzamento com fontes externas e coevas, mas permite aquilo que será a principal vantagem desta metodologia: dar acesso, não apenas aos acontecimentos, mas sobretudo aos significados que os eventos tiveram (e têm) para as pessoas que neles participaram.…”

O período do Estado Novo (1933-1974), caracterizado por um sistema social fortemente patriarcal, assistiu também à entrada de novos meios de experiência simbólica, a rádio e da televisão, na vida das mulheres. Recorrendo à história oral, este artigo procura pistas acerca da forma como decorreu essa implantação da receção mediática entre o operariado têxtil da Covilhã, recorrendo a memórias femininas sobre a articulação dos media com os espaços domésticos e os lugares públicos, e sobre os modos como as interações sociais se foram acomodando ou transformando nesse processo. O texto propõe um quadro teórico para analisar a história da receção numa perspetiva de género, partindo dos conceitos de receção mediática, hegemonia e dominação para explorar dados empíricos provenientes de entrevistas biográficas.
