Television is a major contributor to the cutural life of every country of Europe.
This book is the first to bring together specialists on the media of all the principal countries in a comparative analysis of Television in Europe. In a lifetime, more hours will be spent watching television than at work. It is the prime source of news, the prime topic of conversation. It is also inseperable from the political processes, in each country and in Europe as a whole. Comparing across the countries of Europe, the authors each follow the same fundamental chapter structure, considering the position of television in the continent in terms of policy and regulation on such issues as copyright, public service broadcasting, teleshopping and new technology, with facts and figures to support the arguments presented.
