Recenzje

"With this timely new edition, Johnson and his stellar collection of authors keep pace with the rapidly evolving entity once known simply as television. The collection offers state-of-the-moment accounts of the broadcast, cable, and streaming services that continue to play a central role in video entertainment."

Amanda D. Lotz, Professor of Digital Media and Communication, Queensland University of Technology, Australia

"With an expanded range of global case studies, the second edition of From Networks to Netflix is a must read for anyone seeking to understand television in the twenty-first century. Read separately, each case study offers a thoroughly examined investigation into the channels, streaming services, and platforms that shape television production and consumption today. Combined, the case studies challenge assumptions about how television is being altered by digitization, revealing the multiplicity of 'televisions' that form distinct, yet integral parts of the contemporary television industry."

Catherine Johnson, Director of Research and PGR (Media, Journalism and Film), University of Huddersfield, UK
