Abstract
In this chapter Patrona explores citizens’ discursive participation in political current affairs programs during the EU elections of May 2014. The study focuses on a Greek audience discussion program and compares it with similar programs from the UK and France. By applying discourse analysis and conversation analysis of citizen contributions in sequences of TV talk, the study aims at locating citizen contributions on an imagined ‘broadcast spectrum’ of interactional positions from which ordinary citizens have a voice in media talk across Europe. Moreover, it uncovers the differences in the communicative entitlements of ordinary people between the Greek program and the programs from the UK and France, and addresses the implications of these differences for the processes of public dialogue, democratic participation, and the legitimation - or otherwise - of citizen voices.
