Todd Gitlin is Professor of Culture, Journalism, and Sociology at New York University. His books include Sacrifice (1999), The Twilight of Common Dreams (1995), The Sixties (1987), and The Whole World Is Watching (California, 1980).
"This is very likely the most concentratedly intelligent book yet written about television. Gitlin immersed himself in the industry and yet somehow managed to preserve an independent, thoughtful viewpoint. The result is a delightfully concrete account of recent production from the inside which does not become captive of the usual trade assumptions."--Ernest Callenbach, "Film Quarterly"
