Reviews

This collection of essays by media studies and speech communications professors offers an interesting and detailed analysis of the history and the present-day issues of 19 separate TV formats, from police shows to news to the TV church to commercials. The contributors explore how reality-based and entertainment formats have influenced each other over the last 40 years. They include bibliographies of printed works and ``videographies'' of TV tapes for a general reader or a TV expert who seeks even more detail. This book may provide the base level for future historical work on TV formats. Recommended strongly for university libraries and other large media collections. Abraham Z.
