Politiek tv-debat als strijdtoneel: relationele controle tussen debatterende politici
- David Gelders
Abstract
This article analyzes the control patterns in televized political debates. The modified three digit model of Ericson and Rogers (1973) is used to examine the relational control between debating politicians on television. The case study (2 Flemish telecasts, 3 independent codings) reveals that competitive symmetric behaviour is the most important control pattern, while complementarity, neutralized or submissive symmetries are of little consequence. These findings support the current thesis that important televized political debates are characterized by a high degree of competition and a strong desire to dominate.
