"Television and Common Knowledge" considers how television is and
can be a vehicle for well-informed citizenship in a fragmented
modern society. Contributors first examine how common knowledge is
assumed and produced across the huge social, cultural and
geographic gulfs that characterize modern society, and investigate
the role of television as the primary medium for the production and
dissemination of knowledge. Later contributions concentrate on
specific TV genres such as news, documentary, political
discussions, and popular science programs, considering the changing
ways in which they attempt to inform audiences, and how they are
actually made meaningful by viewers.
Contributors: Suzanne de Cheveignon, John Corner, Daniel Dayan,
John Ellis, Jostein Gripsrud, Klaus Bruhn Jensen, Anders Johansen,
