(redirected from Vox pop)The term 'vox pop' comes from the Latin phrase vox populi, meaning 'voice of the people'. The vox pop is a tool used in many forms of media to provide a snapshot of public opinion. Random subjects are asked to give their views on a particular topic and their responses are presented to the viewer/reader as a reflection of popular opinion. Vox Pop was a popular radio program of interviews, quizzes and human interest features, sometimes titled Sidewalk Interviews (1936) and Voice of the People (the name is from the Latin 'Vox Populi', meaning 'Voice of the People'). It was heard from the early 1930s to the late 1940s.
