In the Shadow of Grexit: The Greek Election of 17 June 2012

This article provides an overview and analysis of the Greek elections of June 2012. Placing the elections within the broader framework of the Greek socio-political and economic context, it discusses the electoral campaign and results, juxtaposing them to the 6 May electoral round. The election results confirmed many of the trends of the previous round, including electoral volatility, the fragmentation of the party system and the rise of anti-establishment forces. The main difference was the entrenchment of the pro- versus anti- bailout division and the prominence of the question of Greece's continued eurozone membership.

From DJ talk to music journalism*

Drawing on 5 hours of data from a very popular and one of the longest-running music radio programs, the current study uses a combination of conversation analysis and sound semiotics to study the interconnection among talk, music and sound in DJ talk, an area which is somewhat of a blind spot in radio studies. The analysis demonstrates that the music program is primarily a program that unfolds through a music information “chain” and evolves through a musical narration of historical important moments of the artists or music genres that are being presented. The results illustrate a number of principal features of a music journalism show and highlight the unique DJ style and its role in the completion of the show.
