Digital broadcasting: an introduction to new media

摘要

In Digital Broadcasting, Pierson and Bauwens synthesize key existing research and provide a comprehensive analysis of the transition of digital broadcasting. Draw from historical, political-economical, production, channel and audience perspectives respectively from Chapter 2 to Chapter 5, this book evaluates transition from analogue to digital broadcasting both theoretically and practically, and offers its own critical interpretation of these changes. Finally, it concludes with proposing to use five theoretical concepts - 'liquidization, defamiliarization, storytelling, de- and recentralization, democratization and participation' (pp. 105-112) to understand the developments in digital broadcasting.
