How Television Shapes Our Worldview: Media Representations of Social Trends and Change
International journal of communication (Online), v 11, pp 1424-1426
01 Jan 2017
Abstract
This edited volume begins with a short introduction to television studies thus far. The collection focuses on how television now reflects broader diversity in society and provides more choice to viewers, mainly due to changes in the delivery of television and the development of new television delivery technologies. The increase in television choice comes with both positive and negative consequences. Television allows us to see the tragedies that unfold thousands of miles away, through increased coverage of worldwide news, but it also allows us to self-select into a narrow interpretation of the news based on our worldview. Today’s inclusion of diversity on television marks a change from the middle-class white families of the 1950s and the economically advantaged white characters of the 1990s that dominated television dramas. However, it still comes with limitations that are explored in depth in a section entitled “The Voice.” [1st paragraph]
