About this title

Synopsis

Television remains one of the most viewed, valued, and trusted sources of information available. This authoritative, persuasive account evaluates television journalism′s contribution to society from a political, economic, and cultural framework.

Covering issues of ownership, control, policy, and regulation, the book is a blend of theory and history that examines the UK industry from a comparative perspective. It establishes the importance of television journalism, how it converges with other formats, and the ways in which it can survive an ever-changing terrain with the advent of new technologies and new media.

Using topical references and original research, the book makes a potent contribution to television journalism studies, and is a necessary point of reference for advanced undergraduates, researchers, and academics in broadcasting, journalism, and media studies.
