- Summary:
- Newman and Levine (journalism and mass communication, U. of Wisconsin-Milwaukee) offer an analysis of the evolving discourses on the cultural status of television by documenting and critiquing them, and do so from the perspective of what they refer to as today's convergence era, a time of economic, technological, aesthetic, and experiential merging of media.
