Book Synopsis Television and Public Policy by : David Ward
Download or read book Television and Public Policy written by David Ward and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-04-09 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The significant changes that have swept the television industry over the last two decades, most notably a shift to deregulation in broadcast media, prompt a discussion on how to ensure that meaningful content is available to the viewer. Television and Public Policy analyzes the current state of television systems in a selected group of countries by exploring the political, economic, and technological factors that have shaped the sector in such a short span of time. Consequently, by positioning the television sector within issues of media policy and the regulatory framework, the book questions what these trends mean for television, and the historical, political, and cultural role in our societies. Television and Public Policy distinguishes itself in several ways: *It is a global project in its comparative scope and subject area. Contributors represent countries including Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Egypt, India, Iran, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. *It is contemporary and filled with information largely absent in current literature. *It offers original analysis of the contemporary television sector. This book speaks to a broad range of academics, postgraduate, and undergraduate students, and can serve as a key resource for courses ranging from media studies, to development studies, international relations, and law.
Download or read book Blue Skies written by Patrick Parsons and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 2008-04-05 with total page 816 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cable television is arguably the dominant mass media technology in the U.S. today. Blue Skies traces its history in detail, depicting the important events and people that shaped its development, from the precursors of cable TV in the 1920s and '30s to the first community antenna systems in the 1950s, and from the creation of the national satellite-distributed cable networks in the 1970s to the current incarnation of "info-structure" that dominates our lives. Author Patrick Parsons also considers the ways that economics, public perception, public policy, entrepreneurial personalities, the social construction of the possibilities of cable, and simple chance all influenced the development of cable TV. Since the 1960s, one of the pervasive visions of "cable" has been of a ubiquitous, flexible, interactive communications system capable of providing news, information, entertainment, diverse local programming, and even social services. That set of utopian hopes became known as the "Blue Sky" vision of cable television, from which the book takes its title. Thoroughly documented and carefully researched, yet lively, occasionally humorous, and consistently insightful, Blue Skies is the genealogy of our media society.

Book Synopsis The FCC and the Politics of Cable TV Regulation, 1952-1980 by : Michael J. Zarkin
Download or read book The FCC and the Politics of Cable TV Regulation, 1952-1980 written by Michael J. Zarkin and published by Cambria Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While other studies have examined the history of cable television regulation, none has fully explained why the FCC struggled to develop regulations during its formative years. In this study, Michael Zarkin helps fill this gap by providing such an explanation through an application of organizational learning theory. Zarkin argues that in order for the FCC to formulate regulations for a brand-new communications medium, it first needed develop and effectively utilize the capacity to gather and analyze policy-relevant knowledge. By the 1970s, conditions were ripe for this to happen, and the FCC was able to more effectively revise its cable television policies. This book elaborates and applies an organizational learning framework that contributes to our understanding of how regulatory agencies operate. By employing a broad range of published and unpublished primary sources, the book also succeeds in providing a more detailed and penetrating study of cable television than previous endeavors. Rather than simply summarizing and critiquing policy decisions, the book paints a picture of the people, ideas, and politics that shaped cable television regulation during these formative years. The FCC and the Politics of Cable TV Regulation, 1952-1980 will be of interest to scholars who study regulatory agencies, the policy process, and communications law and policy.

Book Synopsis Telephone Company Entry Into Cable Television by : Leland L. Johnson
Download or read book Telephone Company Entry Into Cable Television written by Leland L. Johnson and published by Information Gatekeepers Inc. This book was released on 1992 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explores the potential consequences of recent decisions by the Federal Communications Commission to permit local telephone companies to compete with cable television operators and other video suppliers in providing video service. The goal of the study is to provide inputs useful to policymakers in their continuing deliberations about the rules under which telephone companies should be permitted to participate in a video marketplace characterized by striking technological advances, rapidly evolving market structures, and changing social needs. The report focuses on the likely consequences of the FCC decision and the recommendation that local exchange carriers (LECs) be permitted to go beyond provision of video dial tone. It is especially concerned with the prospects for competition with cable operators, the role for existing or new regulatory safeguards, and issues of public policy. To explore the potential for competition, the study describes four scenarios involving a hypothetical LEC and a hypothetical cable company operating in the LEC's territory. The scenarios, set later in this decade and into the next century, describe how the two entities behave in response to alternative regulatory, economic, and technological conditions.

Book Synopsis Platform Power and Policy in Transforming Television Markets by : Tom Evens
Download or read book Platform Power and Policy in Transforming Television Markets written by Tom Evens and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-04-04 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book seeks to investigate ‘platform power’ in the multi-platform era and unravels the evolution of power structures in the TV industry as a result of platformisation. Multiple TV platforms and modes of distribution are competing–not necessarily in a zero-sum game–to control the market. In the volume, the contributors work to extend established ‘platform theory’ to the TV industry, which has become increasingly organised as a platform economy. The book helps to understand how platform power arises in the industry, how it destabilises international relations, and how it is used in the global media value chain. Platform Power and Policy in Transforming Television Markets contributes to the growing field of media industry studies, and draws on scholarly work in communication, political economy and public policy whilst providing a deeper insight into the transformation of the TV industry from an economic, political and consumer level. Avoiding a merely legal analysis from a technology-driven perspective, the book provides a critical analysis of the dominant modes of power within the evolving structures of the global TV value chain.
