[ecrea] New title announcement: TV Formats Worldwide

Fri Jan 08 20:51:06 GMT 2010



TV FORMATS WORLDWIDE
Localizing Global Programs
Edited by Albert Moran
ISBN 9781841503066 pb £19.95, $35

Beginning around 2003, television studies has seen the growth of interest in the genre of reality shows. However, concentrating on this genre has tended to sideline the even more significant emergence of the program format as a central mode of business and culture in the new television landscape. TV Formats Worldwide redresses this balance, and heralds the emergence of an important, exciting and challenging area of television studies. Topics explored include reality TV, makeover programs, sitcoms, talent shows and fiction serials, as well as broadcaster management policies, production decision chains and audience participation processes. The seminal work will be of considerable interest to media scholars internationally.

He has researched extensively in the areas of film and television studies, editing and authoring over 25 books, including the recently published New Flows in Global TV (Intellect, 2009), and writing more than 100 refereed articles and chapters.
