Description: Television Will Be Revolutionized, Paperback by Lotz, Amanda D., ISBN 0814752209, ISBN-13 9780814752203, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Choice Outstanding Academic Title for 2008 After occupying a central space in American living rooms for the past fifty years, is television, as weve known it, dead? The capabilities and features of that simple box have been so radically redefined that its now nearly unrecognizable. Today, viewers with video recorders such as TiVo may elect to circumvent scheduling constraints and commercials. Owners of iPods and other portable viewing devices are able to the latest episodes of their favorite shows and watch them whenever and wherever they want. Still others rent television shows on DVD, or them through legal and illegal sources online. But these changes have not been hastening the demise of the medium. They are revolutionizing it. The Television Will Be Revolutionized examines television at the turn of the twenty-first century :what Amanda D. Lotz terms the post-network era. Television, both as a technology and a tool for cultural storytelling, remains as important today as ever, but it has changed in fundamental ways as the result of technological innovations, proliferating cable channels targeting ever more specific niche audiences, and evolving forms of advertising such as product placement and branded entertainment. Many of the conventional practices and even the industrys basic business model are proving unworkable in this new context, resulting in a crisis in norms and practices. Through interviews with those working in the industry, attendance of various industry summits and meetings, surveys of trade publications, and consideration of an extensive array of popular television shows, Lotz takes us behind the screen to explore what is changing, why its changing, and why these changes matter.
