Envisioning Media Power - On Capital and Geographies of Television

Informationen zum Autor Brett Christophers is a research fellow in the Department of Social and Economic Geography at Uppsala University in Sweden. Klappentext Envisioning Media Power develops an original geographical perspective on the nature and exercise of power in the international television economy, focusing on the UK and New Zealand markets, and on their respective relationships with the U.S. market and its globally influential media corporations. In illuminating the fabric of television's international space economy, the book argues that power, knowledge and geography are inseparable not only from one another, but from the process of accumulation of media capital.
