The
1990's were a decade of uncertainty and change in British Television. ITV
was restructured, independent production grew extensively and the BBC charter
was renegotiated. This collection, written by those in the industry as well
as outside commentators, examines the implications of these changes and raises
key questions for the future.
Contributions include a review of the Public Service Broadcasting debate, and essays on the financial structures of broadcasting, the changing representation of black people on TV, the tension between casualisation and unionisation and an analysis of opportunities for women in the industry. An essential book for those concerned about the future of British television
Contributors: Jane Arthurs, John Corner, Therese Daniels, Sylvia Harvey, Peter Keighron, Karen Lury, Graham Murdock, Colin Sparks, Carol Walker, Mike Wayne, Brian Winston
