This book launches a comprehensive detailing of the dramatic expansion of the geography of television production into new cities, states, provinces, and countries, and how those responsible for shaping the "landscape" of television have been forced to adapt, taking established strategies for engaging with space and place through mediated representation and renegotiating them to account for the new map of television production.
Modelling media studies research that considers the intersection of production, textuality, distribution, and reception, Myles McNutt identifies how the expansion of where television is produced has intersected with the kinds of places represented on television, and how shifts in the production, distribution, and consumption of television content have shifted the burden of representing cities and countries both locally and internationally.
Representing a cross-section of media industry studies, television studies, and cultural geography, this book will appeal to scholars and students within multiple areas of media studies, including media industry studies, production studies, and audience studies, in addition to television studies broadly
In addition, the book also serves discussions of media within cultural geography
