Editorials
From the Publisher
"At last, here is a really stimulating and carefully organised new book which theorises the interpenetration of the medium of television with public and private culture in the age of globalisation, offering some clear thinking while shuffling into a single pack the whole range of postmodern ideas." Anthony Smith, Times Higher Education Supplement
