""Finally, we have before us a first rate, and wide ranging volume that reframes television studies afresh, boldly synthesising debates in the humanities, cultural studies and social sciences...

Bringing together a truly international spread of contributors from across the UK, US, South America, Mexico and Australia, this Handbook charts the field of television studies from issues of ownership and regulation through to reception and consumption.

Separate chapters are dedicated to examining the roles of journalists, writers, cinematographers, producers and manufacturers in the production process, whilst others explore different formats including sport, novella and soap opera, news and current affairs, music and reality TV. The final section analyses the pivotal role played by audiences in the contexts of gender, race and class, and spans a range of topics from effects studies to audience consumption.

The SAGE Handbook of Television Studies is an essential reference work for all advanced undergraduates, graduate students and academics across broadcasting, mass communication and media studies.

Reviews for The SAGE Handbook of Television Studies

Genuinely transnational in content, as sensitive to the importance of production as consumption, covering the full range of approaches from political economy to textual analysis, and written by a star-studded cast of contributors, the SAGE Handbook of Television Studies is a most distinctive and useful guide to the diverse interests, foci and theoretical formations of television studies today. -- Graeme Turner Finally, we have before us a first rate, and wide ranging volume that reframes television studies afresh, boldly synthesising debates in the humanities, cultural studies and social sciences. Even as the arrival of online digital media was heralded as the end of television as we knew it, this volume makes a renewed case for the continuing relevance of television studies for the twenty first century on a global scale. This volume should be in every library and media scholar's bookshelf. -- Professor Ravi Sundaram Genuinely transnational in content, as sensitive to the importance of production as consumption, covering the full range of approaches from political economy to textual analysis, and written by a star-studded cast of contributors, the SAGE Handbook of Television Studies is a most distinctive and useful guide to the diverse interests, foci and theoretical formations of television studies today. -- Graeme Turner Finally, we have before us a first rate, and wide ranging volume that reframes television studies afresh, boldly synthesising debates in the humanities, cultural studies and social sciences.
