Television Form and Public Address

Television Form and Public Address asks fundamental questions about the nature of what appears on the screen and how it variously engages, informs and entertains viewers. After setting out some of the distinctive features of the medium, illustrated by examples, the question of the likely andpossible political consequences of these features is directly addressed. Chapters on the specific but changing forms of news, documentary and advertising provide a detailed analysis of some of television's most controversial ways of addressing the viewer variously as citizen and consumer.Corner, John is the author of 'Television Form and Public Address', published 1995 under ISBN 9780340567531 and ISBN 0340567538.
