                         Marta Jo Sullivan

A significant part of satire that specializes in gaining entertainment
                              from politics
WHO
USES IT?

     serious news or events
An illustration or comic
strip containing a

                     PoliticalCartoons
Specific Areas Within Communication that Political
Satire and Humor is Used.

                                                  Public Address
      Communication Theory




      Electronic Media             Political
                                   Communication
                             Mass Communication
Rhetorical Criticism
                                                  Visual Communication
SO
WHAT?
Political Satire is Important Because it…

Relieves tension                    Blends both serious
                                     topics and humor




  Shows theflaws in political campaigns and government
          officials without providing a solution
Criticisms
DOES POLITICAL SATIRE AND HUMOR EFFECT
 THE PERCEPTION OF THOSE WHO VIEW IT?
YES!

Some studies suggest that exposure to soft news programs and
other types of political satire can give the average person a
false sense of understanding of complex political issues
One study showed that exposure
to Tina Fey’s impersonation of
Sarah Palin; showed changes in
attitudes towards the potential
Vice President
&NO!

Other studies have proven these claims to be false.
Some studies found that the acts and presentation
of the Vice President have very little to no effect
on presidential voting of citizens
Presenter’s Choice

          Political Satire enhances
       political issues, but does not
 ultimately effect the voters choice
        in electing an official. The
  credentials a voter uses to choose
     a political official exist before
        satire even comes into play.
