New Book Published:

/THE TALENT INDUSTRY: Television, Cultural Intermediaries and new 
Digital Pathways./

Raymond Boyle, Centre for Cultural Policy Research, University of Glasgow.

Introduction

This book explores how the digital multiplatform delivery of television 
is affecting the role performed by cultural intermediaries responsible 
for talent identification and development.  Drawing on original research 
from key stakeholders across the television and social video sectors 
such as broadcasters, commissioning editors and talent agents, it 
investigates whether the process of digitization is offering new 
pathways to capture and nurture a diverse talent base within the UK 
television industry. It also provides an in-depth study of how the term 
‘talent’ has historically been interpreted and understood within the UK 
television industry through the BBC and commercial PSB’s, such as ITV 
and Channel 4. /The Talent Industry/ investigates how the traditional 
gatekeepers of talent in television are changing and examines the key 
role of talent agencies in managing and promoting contemporary on and 
off-screen talent in the digital age.
