?The question for us now?is not so much a matter
of whether we are seeing the end of television
as a form of content, but rather a way of
mapping the varying formations and
configurations of the presentation and
distribution of television ? and asking of
each??how is this still television??? ? Jinna
Tay & Graeme Turner, International Journal of Digital Television

The International Journal of Digital Television
will describe and explain the transition to
digital TV and wider trends in television. As
switchover happens across the globe and
television?s operations and audiences are
transformed, the Journal will be at the
forefront of efforts to understand the changes and developments.
The Journal will bring together, and share, the
work of academics, policy-makers and
practitioners, offering lessons from one
another?s experience. Content will be broad and
varied, evolving as the focus shifts from
switching off analogue TV to the challenge of
exploiting digital television?s convergence with
the Internet and telecommunications.
The first issue is truly international in scope
and voice, containing a diverse range of
articles that include Jeffrey A. Hart?s ?The
Transition to Digital Television in the United
States? and Norio Kumabe?s commentary on the
?Preparations for Digital Switchover in Japan?
as well as a discussion focusing on digital
television in developing countries.
