Reviews for A Study of Modern Television: Thinking Inside the Box

'This is a well timed text...The book's split into three sections: The foundations of modern television; Television genres; Television Culture. The strength of Crisell's book lies particularly in the first two sections' Nick Lacey, Media Education Association, Newsletter December 2006.
