Comments for Television and American Culture http://tvamericanculture.net Resource center for textbook by Jason Mittell Fri, 20 Jan 2012 08:14:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ Comment on About This Site by Jason Mittell http://tvamericanculture.net/#comment-5114 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 08:14:50 +0000 #comment-5114 I guess I’d recommend my book that this site is promoting! There is suggestions for further reading in each chapter, so if anything else needs clarification, that’s the best place to start. Good luck!

My name is Chris and I’m from Italy.
I’m going to write my graduation thesis about the broadcasting system in the US, so I wonder if You could help me by recommend some books talking about the structure ov the TV in your Country. I would like to make a comparison between the italian and the US broadcasting: what about the working of syndication?, what about the cable/analogic transmission?, how does the cable TV work and how is it regulated?
I hope I was clear in my request and to have a little help.

Thanks for your attention.

I’ve been using your book for a few years in our upper-division writing courses here at CU Boulder titled (appropriately enough), “TV and American Culture.” I’ve also been using your pitch project in the class, with some minor modifications, and it’s been fantastic. Students really enjoy it. Anyway, here is the newly-built website for the course, which has links to previous blogs and assignment and whatnot. I thought you might be interested.

*And, yes, that’s me with Hosea Rosenberg in that tiny little avatar picture.

Chapter 3 is all about American television regulation, so you might find it helpful as an overview – there’s also a list of Further Reading that will point to more detailed & comprehensive sources on the topic. Good luck!

I’m writing about American Television Regulation and comparing it to the UK for my Dissertation. Does your book mention anything about Regulating US TV? Is there a chapter in your book that may help me at all?

Thanks!

Greetings. I’m considering adopting your text for fall 2010. I have an exam copy courtesy of local Oxford rep. I’ve used Butler’s “Reading Television” for the past few years, but all vid-crit texts become dated over time. I have a few questions. I enjoyed reading your sample syllabus, as it overlaps some with the ways I try to structure this course. How many students are typically enrolled in the course you teach? Second, when will your sample videos be available, and can you tell me what kinds of clips will be available? Finally, do you ever anticipate generating sample exam questions? Like you, I do a lot of things online, even in traditional courses, including reading quizzes, etc. Good luck with the text. pjt

Faculty/instructors can request an examination or desk copy from Oxford UP via the publisher’s website at http://www.us.oup.com/us/catalog/he/subject/Communication/FilmTelevisionStudies/TelevisionStudies/?view=usa&ci=9780195306675
