A critical review of the harms and benefits of television that also
examines systems for maximizing television's benefits. The author
breaks away from the conventional jargon of audience measurement
and other traditional research methods, proposing instead new and
alternative European and Australian methods of evaluating
programming. Typical characterizations of the television screen -
broadly defined to include television, home video, movies, games,
programs and computers - as either the root of all social ills or
the potential savior of society are reexamined. Wober's ultimately
optimistic viewpoint seeks to trigger change in the way we think
about and assess television and in turn ensure that screens will
serve, rather than take advantage of, their users. Originally
published in 1988, this thinking-piece concerns timeless issues
still of import.
