Cultural And Structural Change In Irish Television Drama, Edward Brennan
Cultural And Structural Change In Irish Television Drama, Edward Brennan
Irish Communication Review
According to Devereux (1998), RTÉ drama, and RTÉ television in general, excludes society’s powerless. This is, in his view, a result of the ideology of RTÉ drama producers. Devereux’s research on RTÉ drama concentrates on Glenroe1. It states that Glenroe fails to represent adequately those who are marginalised in Irish society. In passing, Devereux mentions some material and organisational constraints which may help to explain why this is so.
Maple And Shamrock: Seeking A Strategy For Survival In The Audiovisual Jungle, Colum Kenny
Maple And Shamrock: Seeking A Strategy For Survival In The Audiovisual Jungle, Colum Kenny
Irish Communication Review
Attempting to assess what the future might hold for Irish broadcasters and producers, especially in the light of digital and multimedia developments and of increasing competition, I recently paid a visit to Ontario and Quebec, two adjacent provinces of Canada. It is a country where audiovisual matters have long been taken seriously. Canada's proximity to the U.S. 'elephant', as that neighbour is sometimes known, concentrates the northern state's collective mind on survival strategies. Previous trips to Canada, including attendance at the Toronto Film Festival and participation as a guest in the Banff Television Festival in Alberta, had induced in the …

Is Advertising On Television To Children A Problem?, Brian Young
Is Advertising On Television To Children A Problem?, Brian Young
Irish Communication Review
Why are people concerned about television advertising and its influence on children? Is this concern justified? These are the two main points I want to consider in this paper.
View Of Advertising Practitioners, Peter O'Keeffe
View Of Advertising Practitioners, Peter O'Keeffe
Irish Communication Review
I am concerned to make the case for the rights and liberties to communicate commercial advertising messages to children. Consequenlly, I am amused by the identification of advertising with witchcraft; witches ceased to be burned a long time ago. However, this comparison, illustrates the excessive concern shown about how strangely influential advertising is.
Children And Television Advertising, Farrell Corcoran
Children And Television Advertising, Farrell Corcoran
Irish Communication Review
I am particularly frustrated by the lack of debate on issues concerning the media and children in this country. That may be a sweeping statement but we tend to react rather than take an active interest in trying to influence things. These reactions tend to be shaped by moral panics. There is nothing as depressing as a moral panic that arises, usually in the area of violence, every year or two, in response to something happening near us, for example in Manchester, Liverpool or perhaps closer to home. The same tired old arguments and positions are taken with little sign …
New Technologies And Changing Work Practices In The Media Industry: The Case Of Lreland, Ellen Hazelkorn
New Technologies And Changing Work Practices In The Media Industry: The Case Of Lreland, Ellen Hazelkorn
Irish Communication Review
The broadcasting environment in Ireland is the most competitive in Europe. RTE's revenue is strictly limited. The licence fee has not increased since 1986. Advertising revenue is controlled by law. The preservation of a comprehensive and effective radio and television service can only be sustained by the most efficient and cost effective approach to the production of programmes of quality.
Problems Of Broadcast Funding: Crimeline And Sponsorship, Amanda Dunne
Problems Of Broadcast Funding: Crimeline And Sponsorship, Amanda Dunne
Irish Communication Review
In recent years, the dominant trend in broadcast regulation in Europe has been to place the consumer not the citizen at the centre of policy. While technological change has also provoked phenomenal changes in broadcasting and its marketplace, the irrefutable tension between the interests of the citizen and those of the consumer, between 'quality' programming and 'mass' audiences, and between the 'public service' ethos and the interests of commercial broadcasting is more directly a function of policy (Dahlgren, 1995).
Audience Identification And Raidio Na Gaeltachta, Niamh Hourigan
Audience Identification And Raidio Na Gaeltachta, Niamh Hourigan
Irish Communication Review
Issues of audience identification have always been crucial for radio and television stations broadcasting tn lesser used languages. The imminent arrival of Teilifis na Gaeilge and increased interest in the radio station itself have re-opened the debate concerning Raidio na Gaeltachta and its target audience. This paper argues that approaches to audience identification for Raidio na Gaeltachta have been characterized by a lack of clarity and a failure to recognize the diversity within the Irish-speaking community. The expansive and ill-defined nature of their target audience has not been addressed in a structured manner. Consequently the station's position Is becoming increasingly …
Canadian Television Broadcasters And National Audiovisual Production: The Attitude Of The Private Sector, Michel Saint-Lauren, Gaetan Tremblay
Canadian Television Broadcasters And National Audiovisual Production: The Attitude Of The Private Sector, Michel Saint-Lauren, Gaetan Tremblay
Irish Communication Review
This article examines the financial contribution of private television companies to the development and production of authentic Canadian programmes. Until the beginning of the 1980s, all Canadian television stations were under an obligation to produce as well as broadcast the great majority of their programming. This constituted a distinctive feature of Canadian broadcasting when compared to what had always been the case in the United States, not to mention a fundamental aspect of Canadian broadcasting policy since 1958. (It is important to note, however, that for the past several years private US television stations have been obliged to use Independent …
The Future Of Channel Four After The Broadcasting Act 1990, Amanda Dunne
The Future Of Channel Four After The Broadcasting Act 1990, Amanda Dunne
Irish Communication Review
Television operates in the mutually-influencing realms of economics, politics and culture. Across Europe, huge changes have occurred at the indefinable point where culture and economics meet, and politics seeks to mediate or, more often, impose an agenda. This has brought about the deregulation of the television industry and, in its wake, re-regulation (Siune and McQuail 1992: 192, Silj l992: 1 7).

On Public Service Broadcasting: Against The Tide, Helena Sheenan
On Public Service Broadcasting: Against The Tide, Helena Sheenan
Irish Communication Review
The defence of public service broadcasting has become so unfashionable in recent years. Despite an international climate bearing down upon Its economic base from without and an erosion of its ethos from within, I seem to be among an ever dwindling number who want to defend It.
Independent Local Radio: An Irish Success Story, Denis O'Brien
Independent Local Radio: An Irish Success Story, Denis O'Brien
Irish Communication Review
An outsider taking a cursory glance at independent broadcasting in Ireland in 1991 could be forgiven for thinking that the performance of the sector as whole was at best, disappointing and at worst disastrous. The collapse of the national radio licence holder Century Radio, and the removal of the independent television franchise from the TV3 consortium were landmarks in the recent history of independent broadcasting and, not unexpectedly, dominated most of the public focus, comment and debate on the fledgling sector in the past year.

Netflix And The Development Of The Internet Television Network, Laura Osur
Netflix And The Development Of The Internet Television Network, Laura Osur
Dissertations - ALL
When Netflix launched in April 1998, Internet video was in its infancy. Eighteen years later, Netflix has developed into the first truly global Internet TV network. Many books have been written about the five broadcast networks – NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, and the CW – and many about the major cable networks – HBO, CNN, MTV, Nickelodeon, just to name a few – and this is the fitting time to undertake a detailed analysis of how Netflix, as the preeminent Internet TV networks, has come to be.
This book, then, combines historical, industrial, and textual analysis to investigate, contextualize, and …
Congress, The U.S. Supreme Court And Must-Carry Policy: A Flawed Economic Analysis, Nancy Whitmore
Congress, The U.S. Supreme Court And Must-Carry Policy: A Flawed Economic Analysis, Nancy Whitmore
Nancy J. Whitmore
The Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992, which requires cable operators to carry the signals of local broadcast television stations, was hailed by supporters as a measure that would preserve the economic viability of the local independent broadcaster by unlocking the anticompetitive grip that the local cable company places on access to its system. In upholding the Act in 1997, the United States Supreme Court seemed to ignore the degree to which the cable and broadcast industries have become vertically integrated. In the end, local independent stations became economically viable not because they were guaranteed carriage on …
