Description

Television as Digital Media is a collection of essays that explores the relationship between television and digital media. Scholars from Australia, the UK, and the US come together to analyze digital TV as part of digital culture, considering technologies, industries, aesthetics, and production practices. The contributors examine how television has evolved into a non-site-specific, hybrid cultural and technological form that transcends traditional platforms. They investigate how this shift affects our understanding of television's role in shaping social experience, everyday life, and forms of sociality. The essays demonstrate the historical, production, aesthetic, and audience changes that underpin the emerging meaning of television as digital media. This collection offers a new critical paradigm for thinking about television in the digital era, making it a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand this complex relationship.
