[ecrea] VIEW Journal issue 9 on TV Formats and Format Research

EUscreen proudly presents Volume 5, Issue 09 of the open access VIEW 
Journal of European Television History and Culture.

During the last 15 years format research has grown into a notable, 
distinct field of academic investigation alongside the dramatic 
expansion of the trade in TV formats.

This special issue of VIEW builds on existing format scholarship to 
deepen our understanding of the history and the continuing growth of the 
TV format business from a European perspective.

This ninth issue was co-edited by John Ellis, Professor of Media Arts at 
Royal Holloway, University of London, Andrea Esser, Principal Lecturer 
in Media and Communications at the University of Roehampton (UK) and 
Juan Francisco Gutiérrez Lozano, Senior Lecturer in Journalism at the 
University of Málaga (Spain).

Issue 09 is now fully and freely available at www.viewjournal.eu 
<http://www.viewjournal.eu/>.

All articles can be read on screen, where source materials can be found 
embedded in the article text, or saved as a PDF for reading offline.
