Television Studies (Short Introductions) - Tapa blanda

In this incredibly handy book, Amanda Lotz and Jonathan Gray offer a concise, clear guide to state-of-the-art thinking. Covering how TV Studies should be done; its history and its key aspects; 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 Lotz and Gray are supremely switched-on guides to the subject. If some shows are must-see, then this is the intellectual equivalent -- a must-read.
