The Internet Challenge to Television by Owen, Bruce M. Edition ILL, 0 $11.49 After a half-century of glacial creep, television technology has begun to change at the same dizzying pace as computer software. What this will mean–for television, for computers, and for the popular culture where these video media reign supreme–is the subject of this timely book. A noted communications economist, Bruce Owen supplies the essential background: a grasp of the economic history of the television industry and of the effects of technology and government regulation on its organization. He also explores recent developments associated with the growth of the Internet. With this history as a basis, his book allows readers to peer into the future–at the likely effects of television and the Internet on each other, for instance, and at the possibility of a convergence of the TV set, computer, and telephone.The digital world that Owen shows us is one in which communication titans jockey to survive what Joseph Schumpeter called the gales of creative destruction. While the rest of us simply struggle to follow the new moves, believing that technology will settle the outcome, Owen warns us that this is a game in which Washington regulators and media hyperbole figure as broadly as innovation and investment. His book explains the game as one involving interactions among all the players, including consumers and advertisers, each with a particular goal. And he discusses the economic principles that govern this game and that can serve as powerful predictive tools.

Transmedia Television by Evans, Elizabeth Edition , $27.56 The early years of the twenty-first century have seen dramatic changes within the television industry. The development of the internet and mobile phone as platforms for content directly linked to television programming has offered a challenge to the television set?s status as the sole domestic access point to audio-visual dramatic content. Viewers can engage with ?television? without ever turning a television set on.Whilst there has already been some exploration of these changes, little attention has been paid to the audience and the extent to which these technologies are being integrated into their daily lives. Focusing on a particular period of rapid change and using case studies including Spooks, 24 and Doctor Who, Transmedia Television considers how the television industry has exploited emergent technologies and the extent to which audiences have embraced them. How has television content been transformed by shifts towards multiplatform strategies? What is the appeal of using game formats to lose oneself within a narrative world? How can television, with its ever larger screens and association with domesticity, be reconciled with the small portable, public technology of the mobile phone? What does the shift from television schedules to online downloading mean for our understanding of ?the television audience?? Transmedia Television will consider how the relationship between television and daily life has been altered as a result of the industry?s development of emerging new media technologies, and what ?television? now means for its audiences.

Sound and Look Professional on Television and the Internet by McCoy, Michelle; Utterback, Ann S. Edition ILL, 0 $17.99 As we are thrust into an age of digital communication technologies, opportunities are becoming endless for people to perform in front of the cameras either on television or the Internet.

Relocating Television by Gripsrud, Jostein Edition ILL, 0 $49.49 For over half a century, television has been the most central medium in Western democracies ? the political, social and cultural centrepiece of the public sphere. Television has therefore rarely been studied in isolation from its socio-cultural and political context; there is always something important at stake when the forms and functions of television are on the agenda. The digitisation of television concerns the production, contents, distribution and reception of the medium, but also its position in the overall, largely digitised media system and public sphere where the internet plays a decisive role. The articles in this comprehensive collection are written by some of the world?s most prominent scholars in the field of media, communication and cultural studies, including critical film and television studies. Relocating Television offers readers an insight into studying television alongside the internet, participatory media and other technocultural phenomena such as DVDs, user-generated content and everyday digital media production. It also focuses on more specific programmes and phenomena, including The Wire, MSN, amateur footage in TV news, Bollywoodization of TV news, YouTube, fan sites tied to e.g. Grey’s Anatomy and X Factor. Relocating Television will be highly beneficial to both students and academics across a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses including media, communication and cultural studies, and television and film studies.

Big Bird and Beyond $64.52 It began more than 30 years ago with a question at a dinner party at Joan Ganz Cooney’s Manhattan apartment: Could the power of television be used to teach millions of pre-school children the basics of literacy? That question from Lloyd Morrisett, a young foundation executive, soon led to the launching of the most popular children’s program in the world, Sesame Street, defying the odds in an industry that had long placed faith in selling soap rather than serving the educational needs of its audiences.For Morrisett, the birth of Sesame Street was the beginning of an often-lonely, sometimes triumphant and occasionally futile struggle to make quality and equity count in the communications revolution that has so dramatically altered every aspect of life over the last half-century: from newspapers, radio, film and television to computers and the internet.Big Bird and Beyond reveals the pivotal role Morrisett played since 1969, as president of The John & Mary R. Markle Foundation and as chairman of the Children’s Television Workshop, in launching Peggy Charren’s Action for Children’s Television, rescuing the Columbia Journalism Review and the Fund for Investigative Journalism from bankruptcy, establishing the National News Council in Defiance of the nation’s most powerful newspaper, and spurring Cable News Network to provide more-issue oriented presidential election coverage. It describes how Markle almost single-handedly promoted the idea of using computers and the Internet to enrich the lives of the elderly, and most recently, how electronic mail might connect citizens more effectively to government and other institutions affecting their lives.For three decades, then, Morrisettbecame the Ralph Nader of the communications field, a tireless civic advocate who spent millions and tapped the talents of some of the best minds in America in an idealistic battle for the educational, cultural and political potential of both old and newer media.

Branding Television examines the industrial, regulatory and technological changes since the 1980s in the UK and the USA that have led to the adoption of branding as broadcasters have attempted to manage the behaviour of viewers and the values associated with their channels, services and programmes in a world of increased choice and interactivity. Wide-ranging case studies drawn from commercial, public service, network and cable/satellite television (from NBC and HBO to MTV, and from BBC and Channel 4 to UKTV and Sky) analyse the role of marketing and design in branding channels and corporations, and the development of programmes as brands.Exploring both successful and controversial uses of branding, this book asks what problems there are in creating television brands and whether branding supports or undermines commercial and public service broadcasting.Branding Television extends and complicates our understanding of the changes to television over the past 30 years and of the role of branding in contemporary Western culture. It will be of particular interest to students and researchers in television studies, but also in creative industries and media and cultural studies more generally.

Excerpt: South Park is an American animated sitcom created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone for the Comedy Central television network. Intended for mature audiences, the show has become infamous for its crude, surreal, satirical, and dark humor that lampoons a wide range of topics. The ongoing narrative revolves around four childrenStan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman, and Kenny McCormickand their bizarre adventures in and around the fictional and titular Colorado town. Parker and Stone developed the show from two animated shorts they created in 1992 and 1995. The latter became one of the first Internet viral videos, which ultimately led to its production as a series. South Park debuted on August 13, 1997 with great success, consistently earning the highest ratings of any basic cable program. Subsequent ratings have varied, but the show remains Comedy Central’s highest rated and longest running program. A total of 202 episodes have been broadcast, and the fourteenth season began airing on March 17, 2010. Parker and Stone, who continue to do most of the writing, directing, and voice acting, are under contract to produce 14 new episodes a year through 2013. Originally produced by cutout animation, each episode is now created with computer software that emulates the show’s distinct style. Following the early success of the series, the feature length musical film South Park: Bigger, Longer

Convergence in Information and Communication Technology: Strategic and Regulatory Considerations $15 Growth in the information and technology (ICT) sector has exploded over the past 20 years. Dynamic market and technology developments have led to a phenomenon known as convergence, defined in this volume as the erosion of boundaries between previously separate ICT services, networks, and business practices. Examples include cable television networks that offer phone service, Internet television, and mergers between media and telecommunications firms. The results are exciting and hold significant promise for developing countries, which can benefit from expanded access, greater competition, and increased investments. However, convergence in ICT is challenging traditional policy and regulatory frameworks. With convergence occurring in countries across the spectrum of economic development, it is critical that policy makers and regulators understand it and respond in ways that maximize the benefits while mitigating the risks.This volume analyzes the strategic and regulatory dimensions of convergence. It offers policy makers and regulators examples from countries around the world as they address this phenomenon. The authors suggest that countries that enable convergence are likely to reap the greater rewards. But the precise nature of the response will differ by country. Hence, this book offers global principles that should be tailored to local circumstances as regulatory frameworks evolve to address convergence.

Digital Health $47.95 This book is concerned with the provision of health information remotely via the latest communications technologies. The rapidly aging population has led governments to seek more effective methods of maintaining high standards of public health through the cultivation of healthy living, as well as improved and more efficiently delivered health advice and diagnostic services. Experiments with remote provision of health information and transactional services have been piloted to assess in this context the efficacy of new communications technologies, such as personal computers linked to the Internet, interactive digital television in the home, and electronically networked touch-screen kiosks in public locations. Such developments represent part of a wider agenda—through electronic government—to cultivate more dynamic democracies and involve citizens of a time of growing political alienation. The impact of such developments can only properly be established through systematic empirical research. This book examines what has been learned from research-based evaluations of digital health projects.It draws upon research from different parts of the world and offers an up-to-date review of the literature in this field. It also presents a detailed account of recent research carried out in Britain on the effectiveness of government-sponsored pilot health information, advice and transactional services provided via kiosks, the Internet, and interactive digital television. It considers the effectiveness of these communications technologies in relation to a range of distinct applications, their use by the public and perceived usefulness and authority, and the potential of remote health delivery to support or supplant more traditional and direct forms of health diagnosis and treatment.The book will be of interest to those involved in the academic study of digital media developments, e-government and remote health, as well as to policy-makers and practitioners
