Description

At the dawn of a potentially transformative moment in television history, Elizabeth Rodwell examines the battle over interactivity in Japanese media. Major media conglomerates clashed with independent professionals developing new interactive forms from new media.

The author argues that content conservatism ultimately triumphed over technological innovation, stifling ambitious projects such as smartphone-playable television and live-streamed press conferences. Despite their lack of success, these innovators sought to expand the possibilities for mass media, national identity, and open journalism.
