The Persistence of Television: People, Programmes and Practices that Endure

Autor Jason Jacobs, Frances Bonner
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 9 noi 2022
The Persistence of Televisionexamines more than 60 years of television - including popular shows such asDoctor Who, Twin Peaks, andNYPD Blue- to identify the elements that have entertained and informed viewers from the beginning of mass broadcasting to the present day, proposing that most television viewing is rooted in traditional programming that is received in conventional ways. On-screen faces, programmes and genres, and production practices drawn from British, American and Australian television services are examined to demonstrate how continuity persists in the face of change. There's no denying the excitement or the value of the new, but the contributors to this book argue that it runs in tandem with enduring aspects of the already existing.
