The collection features classic texts by David Morley and Charlotte Brunsdon, exploring the impact of television on everyday life and audience behavior. Originally published in the late 1970s, these works analyze the cultural significance of the television program "Nationwide," offering insights into media consumption and audience dynamics during that era. This compilation provides a valuable historical perspective on the evolving relationship between television and society.
Charlotte Brunsdon traces television's representations of Paris, London, and Baltimore to show how they reflect the medium's history and evolution, thereby challenging the prevalent assumptions about television as quintessentially suburban and showing how television shapes our perception of urban spaces, both familiar and unknown.
