Television Producers (Hardcover): Jeremy Tunstall Television Producers (Hardcover)
Jeremy Tunstall
R1,433 Discovery Miles 14 330 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

From live sports coverage to situation comedy, British television is producer-driven. Television Producers presents a comprehensive survey of the entire spectrum of television broadcasting, focusing on seven key programming areas - documentaries, news, sport, infotainment, drama, comedy and game shows. Jeremy Tunstall discusses the main concerns of the producers, including money, the type of performers available, organizing studio, location and film, and the kinds of expectations which each particular genre is expected to fulfil. Television Producers provides an in-depth look at the work of individual producers including the Top People in British broadcasting - producers of leading programmes and the network barons. Over 250 producers across the range of British television - BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and the independents - were interviewed for the book, as well as the Hollywood executive producers of Dallas, Kojak, MASH and CHIPS. The final chapter considers the possibilities for the future of broadcasting as it faces the 20th century.

Media Moguls (Paperback, New): Michael Palmer, Jeremy Tunstall Media Moguls (Paperback, New)
Michael Palmer, Jeremy Tunstall
R1,177 Discovery Miles 11 770 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The emergence of a few powerful individuals in control of large sections of mass communications industries has coincided with world-wide media deregulation. In this book, the authors take a close look at media moguls as a species, portray them as own-and-operate entrepreneurs who specialize in acquiring other media companies. They look at moguls based in France, Germany, Italy, Britain and the US - individuals such as Berlusconi, Hersant, Murdoch and Maxwell - and show how they adopt an idiosyncratic personal style involving the acceptance of risk and debt to retain control, and use political partizanship and alliances to further their business interests. The book considers other, non-mogul trends: the gradual integration of a world media industry, both across the Atlantic and the Pacific, the emergence of a west European media policy strongly influenced by the advertising lobby and other media industry lobbies and the transformation of Reuters into a super-agency handling both news and financial data. This book should be of interest to students and lecturers of media and communication studies as well as journalists and practitioners within the media industry.

Jeremy Tunstall
R2,918 Discovery Miles 29 180 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

British newspapers -- The Times, The Guardian, Daily Telegraph, and Financial Times -- have long been considered among the best in the world, and the BBC has become the world's most venerated television and radio organization.

In the course of the book he discusses such issues as the relationship of politics to the media, media audiences, media biases, control of the media by conglomerates, and policies for the future.

The Media Were American - U.S. Mass Media in Decline (Paperback, New): Jeremy Tunstall The Media Were American - U.S. Mass Media in Decline (Paperback, New)
Jeremy Tunstall
R3,856 Discovery Miles 38 560 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

In 1977, Jeremy Tunstall published the landmark The Media Are American. In it, he argued that while much of the mass media originated in Europe and elsewhere, the United States dominated global media because nearly every mass medium became industrialized within the United States. With this provocative follow-up, Tunstall chronicles the massive changes that have taken place in the media over the past forty years--changes that have significantly altered the "balance of power" within the global media landscape. The Media Were American demonstrates that both the United States and its mass media have lost their previous moral leadership. Instead of sole American control of the world news flow, we now see a world media structure comprised of interlocking national, regional, and cultural systems.
From a relentlessly global point of view, Tunstall looks closely at China and India--and at their rapidly burgeoning populations--and also at the rise of the mass media in the Muslim world. He considers the role of the media in the collapse of the Soviet Union, the ascendance of the Brazilian and Mexican soap opera, the increasing strength of "Bollywood"--the national cinema output of India--and the relative decline in influence of U.S. media. Reconsidering the very notion of "global media," the book posits a reemergence of stronger national cultures and national media systems.

It has become clear that the U.S. media are no longer increasingly their grip throughout the globe: Asia and the Arab/Moslem world is virtually saturated with their own national media output. Tunstallproduces a well-written, provocative snapshot at global media today. His point of view is relentlessly global: he considers the role of the media in the collapse of the Soviet Union, the ascendanceof the Brazillian and Mexican soap opera, the increasing strength of "Bollywood" - the national cinema output of india- as well as the relative decline in influence of US media . Importantly, Tunstall focuses on both the nation state and the geographical and cultural region as crucial levels in today's mass media. Both the United States and the US mass media have now lost their previous moral leadership. Lone American control of the world news flow has ceased. today, rather than Global media, we see a world media system comprised of inter-locking national-regional-cultural systems. Tunstall's assessment is a wake-up call for insular American media consumers.
