Popular TV and Cultural Diversity: Australia, USA, UK, New Zealand. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, July 2008, Pages: 184
This book will give readers a rare comparative insight into how four immigrant countries have come to represent their culturally diverse communities in popular television programming such as drama, serials (soapies) and more contemporary reality shows such as Big Brother and the Idol series. The book will take insights from how the four countries approaches and policies regarding immigration and multiculturalism have impacted upon the business and programming of popular television as well as provide a rare look at the second generation contribution to changing the look of what appears on our TV screens. It will appeal to university students and researchers, as well as media and television practitioners and policymakers alike. Much of the book takes its material from the popular programs themselves, with rare and insightful interviews from industry players such as directors and writers, as well as actors and broadcasting policy makers.
