Description

Social Issues in Television Fiction by Lesley Henderson explores how popular TV dramas reflect and shape socio-cultural attitudes. Drawing on empirical data and case studies of medicine, health, illness, and social problems, the book examines the relationship between television fiction and wider society. Through detailed analysis and interviews with programme makers, the author reveals how storylines are developed and received by audiences. The book also considers external influences on programme content, including commercial imperatives, broadcast regulations, and campaigning organisations. This unique perspective provides valuable insights into the role of television fiction in shaping public understandings. This book is a valuable resource for academics, researchers, and students in media studies, sociology, cultural studies, and communications.
