Abstract
The study at hand is part of a research project dedicated to the topic management in a political talk show. Here, the focus is on the talk show host’s activities resulting from her role-specific tasks within the show. The detailed analysis is dedicated to her presentations of pre-produced film clips as part of the show. Data samples are taken from a corpus of 19 editions of the German Anne Will show. The video samples and corresponding transcripts have been closely analysed with special regard to sequential organisation and the concurrence of verbal and non-verbal expressions. The observed interactions reflect their medial context, which, reciprocally, is also the result of the participants’ practices: It is only within the medial context of a political TV discussion that film clips need to be introduced during the ongoing conversation and, at the same time, can be utilized to moderate between distinct participant groups.
