Abstract: Television discourse has undergone significant changes at the end of the twentieth century. Technological, economic and political upheavals in the European media have had a direct effect on programme form and meaning. Worlds in Common? is an innovative examination of these newly emerging forms of communication. Worlds in Common? extends current debates about the future of a new multichannel media environment which is no longer confined within national boundaries, and how this affects the cultural lives of viewers. It is highly relevant for students and researchers of applied linguistics, media studies and communication studies.
