For over half a century‎,‎ television has been the most central medium in Western democracies ‎- the political‎,‎ social and cultural centrepiece of the public sphere‎.‎ Television has therefore rarely been studied in isolation from its socio‎-cultural and political context‎;‎ there is always something important at stake when the forms and functions of television are on the agenda‎.‎ The digitisation of television concerns the production‎,‎ contents‎,‎ distribution and reception of the medium‎,‎ but also its position in the overall‎,‎ largely digitised media system and public sphere where the internet plays a decisive role‎.‎ The articles in this comprehensive collection are written by some of the world‎'‎s most prominent scholars in the field of media‎,‎ communication and cultural studies‎,‎ including critical film and television studies‎.‎ Relocating Television offers readers an insight into studying television alongside the internet‎,‎ participatory media and other technocultural phenomena such as DVDs‎,‎ user‎-generated content and everyday digital media production‎.‎ It also focuses on more specific programmes and phenomena‎,‎ including The Wire‎,‎ MSN‎,‎ amateur footage in TV news‎,‎ Bollywoodization of TV news‎,‎ YouTube‎,‎ fan sites tied to e‎.‎g‎.‎ Grey‎'‎s Anatomy and X Factor‎.‎ Relocating Television will be highly beneficial to both students and academics across a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses including media‎,‎ communication and cultural studies‎,‎ and television and film studies‎.‎
