Entertainment media now comprise one of the world's largest
industries, yet they remain one of the least studied aspects of
contemporary mass media. Every day hundreds of millions of people
watch television programs that might broadly be described as
'entertainment', notably in the rapidly developing countries of
Asia. However we still have little idea of what drives the
production of Asian entertainment television, how audiences engage
with television or how political and social elites understand the
impact of television on the massive audiences. While India and
China have attracted recent media attention, Indonesia has remained
largely unnoticed. As Indonesia has the largest Muslim population
in the world, is engaged in rapid modernization and the transition
to democracy in significant part through the mass media, serious
attention is long overdue. The topics covered include: talent
shows, crime and supernatural Reality TV, travel programmes, talent
quests and popular music This book, with contributions from
recognized experts on Indonesian media, is therefore of particular
importance not just for explaining what is going on in Indonesian
popular television, but also for establishing a theoretical
framework for the study of entertainment media in other societies.
The collection is essential for anyone wishing to know about
entertainment media, Asian television and contemporary approaches
to the study of Asian mass and popular media.
