Hitler and Lord Reith were the first arbiters of television's
usage; today we have to accept what international moguls like
Rupert Murdoch think is good for us. And we still don't know quite
how it affects us. As Anthony Smith points out in the introduction
to this wide-ranging examination of television's worldwide impact,
'many have tried but no one has yet succeeded in distilling the
essence of the nature of its influence'. This book does much to
redress the balance, with especially interesting chapters on
television and family life, terrorism and the Third World. Read it,
and you'll never watch EastEnders - or News at Ten - in quite the
same way again. (Kirkus UK)
From its earliest beginnings, television was destined to become one of the great new forces at work in the twentieth century. Written by a distinguished international team of specialists, the book describes the history of television from its technical conception in the nineteenth century right through to the bewildering multi-media developments of the present. Covering all genres of programme-making and examining the debates affecting television worldwide, this second edition includes new chapters on India and China, the Arab World, Latin America, Canada, and Northern Europe and Scandinavia.
