TV & society

Television is the most pervasive mass medium of the industrialised world. It is blamed for creating alienation and violence in society, yet at the same time regarded as trivial and unworthy of serious attention. It is the main purveyor of global popular culture, yet also intensely local.

The Australian TV Book paints the big picture of the small screen in Australia. It examines industry dynamics in a rapidly changing environment, the impact of new technology, recent changes in programming, and the ways in which the television industry targets its audiences. The authors highlight what is distinctive about television in Australia, and how it is affected by international developments.

This book is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand Australian television today.

Stuart Cunningham is Professor of Media and Journalism at Queensland University of Technology.

They are editors of the leading textbook The Media in Australia and authors of many other works on the media.
