Books by Ian Hutchby

This book examines the increasingly combative arena of live televised political interviewing in the twenty-first century. It draws into question not just the evasion and slipperiness of politicians but also the ethics and neutrality of journalists in a broadcast environment where "interview" can readily morph into "argument."

Using conversation analysis to explore the nature of argument, asymmetry, and power, this book focuses on the interplay between the structures of participation on talk radio. It demonstrates how conversation analysis may be used to account for power as a feature of institutional discourse.

Children, Technology and Culture looks at the interplay of children and technology which poses critical questions for how we understand the nature of childhood in late modern society.
