Reviews

'This is a well timed text...The book's split into three sections: The foundations of modern television; Television genres; Television Culture. The strength of Crisell's book lies particularly in the first two sections.' - Nick Lacey, Media Education Association, Newsletter December 2006 '...a succinct, lucidly written analysis...' European Journal of Communication ...his strength is to bring into focus the sub-field and to reaffirm that there is a major area of study that now more than ever should not be cast aside because of overheated claims about a changing technological environment. He reminds us that television, as we have understood it thus far, has not gone away. ' European Journal of Communication
