| Synopsis: |
This is the first book to focus exclusively and explicitly on the discourse of television.It provides a detailed analysis of the discourse of television, structured around four main features: storytelling, closeness, conflict and persuasion. It is based on a wide range of non-fictional television formats, from news and documentaries to lifestyle shows and political debates. It is fully illustrated with numerous examples, in the form of contextualised transcriptions, from programmes broadcast in the UK, the US and New Zealand, such as Trisha, Planet Earth, CNN, Ricki Lake and The Rove Live show.What is the connection between what is said on TV and how it is said? Structured around four key features of the current broadcast landscape (storytelling, closeness, conflict and persuasion), "Broadcast Discourse" examines the specific forms and structures of talk across media genres as varied as exploitative shows and political interviews. |
