[Commlist] New Book: Producing Children’s Television in the On Demand Age

Intellect is pleased to announce that /*Producing Children’s Television 
in the On Demand Age 
<https://www.intellectbooks.com/producing-childrens-television-in-the-on-demand-age>*/, 
by Anna Potter, is now available in ebook and paperback.

Children’s television is undergoing rapid change. New streaming services 
like Netflix and YouTube compete for attention with established players 
like the BBC and Disney. Drawing on extended interviews with leading 
screen industry figures, Potter examines how creative practices, funding 
models and production norms in children’s television have adapted to 
television’s distribution revolution.

This book provides a detailed account of the creative, economic and 
regulatory processes underlying the production of children’s television 
in a multi-platform era. Its collection of integrated case studies 
includes extended interviews with leading producers whose programmes are 
watched by children all over the world. These case studies reveal the 
impact of digitization on the funding, distribution and consumption of 
children’s television, and the ways that producers have adapted their 
creative practice accordingly. In its comprehensive analysis of the 
production culture of children’s television, this book provides a 
valuable lens through which to view broader transformations in media 
industries in the on-demand age.
