ABSTRACT
In this chapter, Graeme Turner focuses on the changing state of the relationship between television and citizenship in the post-broadcast era, as a relation that has become more radically contingent and, in some respects, more compromised than in the past. His analysis is framed around what he describes as four sets of overdetermining influences that, while not universal, are sufficiently widespread in their presence and implications to require attention: technological change, the information explosion, globalization, and television’s changing modes of participation in the production of cultural citizenship.
