Internet Television

The Internet offers a wide range of content for your consumption; Internet television is one of the more recent additions. Whether it’s in the form of a download and view or streaming content you can now access shows and information that are tailored to your schedule and your interests. Internet television provides content from a vast range of sources; find shows in your language that are grounded in your culture, or news from nearly any part of the world.

Niche Markets Find Themselves

There are shows available on the Internet that you’ll never see on television, either because the audience is too small or because you’re not living in the right region. Television, broadly stated, is restricted by economics of scale; once you factor in the accessibility of the Internet, television becomes something much more interesting. Viewers can customize their viewing, in a way that only DVRs and extensive cable packages can otherwise make possible. Producers of niche content can deliver on-line and find their audience, regardless of geography. These two benefits come together to provide an avenue of communication and community.

There are sites that pull offerings together so you can easily navigate to content you’re interested in viewing. You can look for content from specific countries, from specific sources, or in specific languages. Some sites provide listings and access to a variety of shows from a country or region; this creates the opportunity for individuals to follow the news and culture of home from anywhere on the globe. Some television networks also provide access to segments from their own line-up, making it possible for you to see shows at the time that works for you. Language markets are no longer restricted to a locale; the Internet provides a doorway for members of a community to stay in touch and share their culture and heritage.

Getting Internet Television

The two modes of delivery are download and streaming. Downloading the shows you want to watch is relatively easy and does not require the same bandwidth as streaming. There are numerous free viewers available for watching this content. You can, in some cases, subscribe to a show and be notified of new episodes, much like subscribing to a news feed or a podcast. In fact, you can view some of these shows on portable devices as well as your computer. These options extend your viewing choices.

Streaming brings you the program as it is delivered over the Internet. This is not much different than watching television, shows are scheduled and you can tune in when they’re shown. Some of the larger ISP can produce their own offerings of IPTV (Internet Protocol Television); these offerings are generally made by the people you buy your Internet service from. Streaming requires more computer power and Internet speeds sufficient to handle a lot of data at a good speed. Lower end computers or Internet connections without the speed result in choppy viewing at your end.

Reality Show: Inside the Last Great Television News War $17.99 Dan Rather, Tom Brokaw, Peter Jennings: They were on a first-name basis with the country for a generation, leading viewers through moments of triumph and tragedy. But now that a new generation has succeeded them, the once-glittering job of network anchor seems unmistakably tarnished. In an age of instantaneous Internet news, cable echo chambers and iPod downloads, who really needs the evening news? And, by extension, who needs Katie Couric, Brian Williams, and Charlie Gibson? But the anchors still have a megaphone capable of cutting through the media static. Their coverage of Iraq helped turn the country against that bloody war, and they are now playing a leading role in chronicling the collapse of George Bush’s presidency and the 2008 race to succeed him. Yet, even as the anchors fight for ratings supremacy, the mega-corporations they work for have handed them a bigger challenge: saving an American institution. In this freewheeling, intimate account of life atop the media pyramid, award-winning bestselling author Howard Kurtz takes us inside the newsrooms and executive suites of CBS, NBC, and ABC, capturing the deadline judgments, image-making, jealousies, and gossip of this high-pressure business. Whether it is Couric trying to regain her morning magic while coping with tabloid stories about her boyfriends, Williams reporting from New Orleans and Baghdad while worrying about his ailing father, or Gibson weighing whether to follow his wife into retirement while grappling with having to report the explicit details of sex scandals, Kurtz brings to life the daily battles that define their lives. The narrative reflects an extraordinary degree of access to such corporate chieftains as Jeff Zucker and Les Moonves, star correspondents, and the anchors themselves. Their goal: create an on-screen persona that people will tune in to and trust. Yet they are faced with a graying, shrinking audience as younger viewers flock to Jon Stewart, whose

Refiguring Mass Communication: A History $25 This unique inquiry into the history and ongoing moral significance of mass communication also represents a defense, extension, and overhaul of the idea and social form of the discipline. Organized around narrative accounts of individuals and their communicative worlds, Refiguring Mass Communication illuminates significant but overlooked rhetorical episodes in history to enable modern-day readers to rehabilitate and reinvigorate their own engagements with mass communication. Coined in the 1920s as a way to describe radio, motion pictures, wide-circulation magazines, and the press, the term "mass communication" frequently is misused in the era of cable TV, niche marketing, and the Internet. In Refiguring Mass Communication, Peter Simonson compares his own vision of mass communication with distinct views articulated throughout history by Paul of Tarsus, Walt Whitman, Charles Horton Cooley, David Sarnoff, and Robert K. Merton, utilizing a collection of texts and tenets from a variety of time periods and perspectives. Drawing on textual and archival research as well as access to Merton’s personal papers, Simonson broadly reconceives a sense of communication theory and what social processes might be considered species of mass communication. Simonson reveals the geographical and social contexts from which these visions have emerged and the religious and moral horizons against which they have taken shape. In a unique perspective, he considers the American county fair as an example of a live gathering and crucial site that is overlooked in contemporary forms of mass communication, urging a reconsideration of how individuals participate in and shape similar forms.
