[ecrea] NEW E-BOOK: OBITEL YEARBOOK 2011

OBITEL YEARBOOK 2011: THE QUALITY OF FICTION AND THE AUDIENCE?S

                                     TRANSMEDIA INTERACTIONS


Based on a systematic monitoring of teleision fiction, this OBITEL 
Yearbook 2011presents data about production, distribution, circulation 
and consumption of fiction programming during 2010 in the eleven 
countries which integrate the Iberoamerican Observatory of Television 
Fiction - OBITEL.
This Yearbook is the fifth to be published since 2007. Year after year, 
the publication shows the maturity of the project which methodological 
model combines quantitative and qualitative analyses about the 
industrial and sociocultural dynamics of TV fiction in specific national 
contexts.This research is focused only on national private and public, 
broadcast television channels.  Each national report is presented as a 
chapter of this Yearbook, which is preceded by an introductory chapter 
with a comparative analysis of all countries.
For this Yearbook, the Subjet of the Year has been ?Quality of TV 
fiction?, as it opens different ways to deal with issues of reception 
and production, centrality of rating, communication rights of audiences 
and the construction of citizenship across TV screens. Quality is a 
polemical category not only in reference to traditional media, but also 
to new interactive options like internet, cellular phones, iPods and the 
like. This constitutes a new frontier for reception studies and also has 
consequences for TV fiction productions and distributions in the digital 
world.
