Book Description

ISBN-10: 0198711220 | ISBN-13: 978-0198711223 | Publication Date: May 23, 1996 | Edition: First Edition

New Patterns in Global Television focuses upon the development of television industries in some of the countries outside the traditionally dominant centres. It challenges the view that `cultural imperialism' from powerful metropolitan centres dictates the supply of television programmes and services in the world. Specialist researchers provide the first comprehensive overview of TV production in dynamic `peripheral' regions such as Latin America, India, the Middle East, Greater China, and, in the English-speaking world, Canada and Australia.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"...Chapters fit well, are carefully edited, and provide much enlightening information. This very important work should be read and debated by students interested in both media imperialism and 'Active audience.'"--Choice
