About
"Television. Love it or hate it, watching it is still the most popular pastime ever. It reflects and shapes our knowledge of contemporary life across the economic, political, social, and cultural spectrum, and yet TV is still among the most criticized phenomena of modern life." "This book, written by one of television's experts, invites us to explore television's most controversial coverage and fascinating aspects: TV citizenship, live TV, "plebiscitary" shows, reality TV, synchronized sports, and TV's own history. At a time of unprecedented change in technologies and business plans, Hartley explores television's evolving place and transforming role in our knowledge-based society."--BOOK JACKET.
