Television has developed from its beginnings in the early part of the 20th century to become an integral part of everyday life in today's society as a means of obtaining and communicating information as well as a form of entertainment. The new edition of the Encyclopedia of Television builds on the award-winning first edition that has been widely recognized and cited as the foremost reference work on the study of television.

Incorporating almost 200 new entries and revisions of almost all of the original entries from the first edition, the second edition of the Encyclopedia not only focuses on the history and current state of television in today's society but looks to the future, exploring significant changes that have occurred in the economic, technological, and regulatory contexts in which television is produced, transmitted, and experienced.

In over 1,150 entries, this four-volume, A-Z reference work brings together the latest research and criticism in entries devoted to:

*Television programs that are notable for their artistic merit or popular appeal, as well as those that have had a particular impact on society, on culture, on a genre, or on television as a medium or industry

*Actors, directors, writers, inventors, and other individuals in the television industry who have played a significant role in the history of television

*Concepts and issues that discuss a wide range of subjects, including:

-Cultural, social, and political issues

-Genres

-Technologies, techniques, and materials

-Particular networks, stations, media corporations, or production companies

-Activists and advocacy groups

-Regulatory and legal topics

-Issues related to the economics or marketing of television

-Professional and trade organizations

-Noteworthy historical events covered by television

-Specific professions in television

-Audience and ratings

-Concepts integral to the medium

*Country Overviews that examine the historical development of television in specific countries or regions with emphasis on political, economic, technological, and regulatory issues. Entries also evaluate programming and program content and the social and cultural relevance of television in the country or region

The second edition of this Encyclopedia brings an already highly acclaimed and praised work up-to-date with the latest scholarship and criticism in television studies. This accessible work will be of great use and interest for students, scholars, and researcher as well as general readers and watchers of television who want to know more about their favorite programs.
