This study examines the transformation of Israel's public sphere through two distinct communicative arenas: radio phone-ins and online commenting (Tokbek).Using ethnomethodology and discourse analysis, the author reveals how these sites function as institutions where ordinary citizens engage with political topics, tracing a shift from rational community-based discussion to polarized identity-driven exchanges. The radio phone-in emerges as a space closely aligned with Habermas's vision of a functional public sphere, where listeners reasonably discuss social issues within a community framework. In contrast, the Tokbek presents an opportunity for anonymous participants to express extreme political views while disparaging opposing perspectives, exemplifying what the author terms "inverted identity politics." Beyond documenting this transformation, this book explores the structural factors behind the shift, considering both Israel's unique context and broader neoliberal influences. The analysis reveals how the fragmentation of Israeli society, declining hope regarding the Israeli-Arab/Palestinian conflict, and the transition from welfare state to neoliberal economy, have collectively reshaped public discourse.This book offers valuable insights for scholars of media studies, political discourse analysis, Israeli society, and online participation.

Politicians at Night: Interaction and Discourse on the Entertainment-Political Interview studies the exchanges between presidential candidates and talk show hosts on broadcast late-night shows in the United States. Gonen Dori-Hacohen; Eean Grimshaw and Menno H. Reijven use various language and social interaction frameworks, including membership categorization analysis, conversation analysis, narrative analysis, and semiotics. They develop a broad understanding of the Entertainment-Political Interview (EPI) and cultural role. They discuss how politicians use pronouns to achieve inclusion and exclusion. Similarly, the authors demonstrate how and why the hosts ask softball questions. Unlike these two elements that create politics, the authors demonstrate how politicians use stories to present themselves like celebrities. They then demonstrate how politicians intersect with entertainment when they analyze one specific segment called "Slow Jam the News," on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.The linking of the politician to entertainment is part of the final argument of the book, where the authors critically examine the EPI as part of a myth since it vacates the politics of its original form while maintaining a façade of politics.EPI promotes a capitalist neoliberal ideology that is at the root of both entertainment and politics in the U.S.
