"A fantastic resource for scholars because it is an essential look back at the formation of the field, which makes the road ahead easier to see.""A fantastic resource for scholars because it is an essential look back at the formation of the field, which makes the road ahead easier to see."Communication Research Trends
"In this incredibly handy book, Gray and Lotz offer a concise, clear guide to state-of-the-art thinking. Covering how TV studies should be done; its history and its key aspect; and the importance of studying context alongside the classic trio of industry-program-audience, this 'Short Introduction' consistently makes the case for TV Studies' contemporary relevance, as well as for TV's cultural importance. The Meanings and technologies of television may be changing, but Gray and Lotz are supremely switched-on guides to the subject. If some shows are must-sees, then this is the intellectual equivalent - a must-read."
