Opis

Online TV argues that the changes to internet usage and access create the conditions for an emergent internet era that challenges the language and concepts that we have to talk about television as a medium.

Recenzje

'Online TV offers a comprehensive framework for discerning television's expansion to internet distribution and cogently explores how new capabilities blend with persistent features to evolve our understanding of the medium.'

Amanda Lotz, Queensland University of Technology, Australia

'When today’s television or media scholar isn’t watching Netflix, the BBC iPlayer, and co., we should be trying to work out what they represent, and how they change or develop our traditional structures of thinking about television. Online TV does an amazing job at answering those questions, a spectacular account of where we are and how it all matters. Required reading for us all.'

Jonathan Gray, University of Wisconsin–Madison, USA

'In Online TV, Catherine Johnson cuts through the hype of digital disruption to provide an immensely valuable set of critical concepts for understanding television industries. Covering everything from interfaces to infrastructure – and highlighting historical continuities as well as changes – this book sets a new agenda for television research.'

Ramon Lobato, RMIT, Australia
