Television and New Media

<p><em>Television and New Media</em> introduces students to the ways that new media technologies have transformed contemporary television production distribution and reception practices. Drawing upon recent examples including <em>Lost</em> <em>24</em> and <em>Heroes</em> this book closely examines the ways that television programming has changed with the influx of new media-transforming nearly every TV series into a franchise whose on-air online and on-mobile elements are created simultaneously and held together through transmedia storytelling. This book is essential for understanding how creative and industrial forces have worked together in the new media age to transform the way we watch TV.</p>
