| | IU study views Jerry Springer Show as morally conservative |
 | | The Jerry Springer Show, criticized by many as an assault on social values, is actually a morally conservative television program, according to research findings from Maria Elizabeth Grabe, associate professor of journalism at Indiana University. |
 | | My findings revealed that deviance from the traditional family values is frequently featured on the show, but that the studio audience and Jerry Springer played active roles in the public degradation of these transgressions, casting the show in a morally conservative light," she said. |
 | | The Springer show, which is taped in Chicago, emphasizes the sexual adventures and transgressions of the guests on a regular basis. |
