Behind the Screens The Structure of British Broadcasting in the 1990s

The 1990's were a decade of uncertainty and change in British Television. ITV was restructured, independent production grew extensively and the BBC charter was renegotiated. This collection, written by those in the industry as well as outside commentators, examines the implications of these changes and raises key questions for the future.Contributions include a review of the Public Service Broadcasting debate, and essays on the financial structures of broadcasting, the changing representation of black people on TV, the tension between casualisation and unionisation and an analysis of opportunities for women in the industry. An essential book for those concerned about the future of British television.Hood, Stuart is the author of 'Behind the Screens The Structure of British Broadcasting in the 1990s' with ISBN 9780853157748 and ISBN 085315774X.
