Inhaltsangabe

Television and its Viewers reviews 'cultivation' research, which investigates the relationship between exposure to television and beliefs about the world. Shanahan and Morgan present a sweeping historical view of television as a technology and as an institution. Shanahan and Morgan's study looks forward as well as back, to the development of cultivation research in a new media environment.
