Decrepitude as a source of symbolic capital: the case of the Israeli army radio station / Soffer, Oren   Journal Article
Soffer, Oren Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The Israel Defence Forces radio station has been broadcasting to the general public for 68 years, becoming increasingly popular over the last few decades. Following the work of Nick Couldry, this article explores the cultural importance of the station’s production site. It argues that the Israeli army radio station is a special case in that the physical drabness of the media site legitimises its military provenance, strengthening a direct link between the media organisation and its staff, as well as between the army as a whole and the Israeli general public.

Good news: the Carmel Newsreels and their place in the emerging Israeli language media / Soffer, Oren; Liebes, Tamar   Article
Soffer, Oren Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The Carmel Newsreels were screened in cinemas for more than a decade before and for two decades after the establishment of the State of Israel (1935–70). The newsreels were of prime importance in creating and documenting visual representations of everyday life in the burgeoning Jewish state, particularly in view of the late introduction of television (1968) to Israel. This article examines the place of the newsreels in the Hebrew language media on the eve of the establishment of the state, particularly the division of roles between newspapers and the filmed newsreels. It argues that for various reasons, including a range of technological and contextual constraints and the fact that they were screened in cinemas in conjunction with feature films as part of a programme of entertainment, the newsreels were for the most part upbeat, celebrating the achievements of the Zionist project. They did not offer an alternative to the print press, but rather added a visual, in the main positive, perspective to the print newspapers.

Imagined audience of Israeli army radio: a historical perspective / Soffer, Oren   Journal Article
Soffer, Oren Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract Since 1950, the Israel Defense Forces has operated the Galei Tzahal radio station, which broadcasts to the general public. Over the years, substantial changes have taken place in the station's programming, as it grew from a marginal broadcasting body into a major radio station with high ratings. This study examines a particular aspect of the station's history-its imagined audience-and the fundamental changes in the perception of that audience over time.
