Dispensing with the idea of a studio-vs-network throw-down, Jennifer Porst shows how historical change is driven instead by the interactions of multiple stakeholders and intermediaries. This book shows why film histories must reckon with intermedia, and helps push reductive contemporary theories of convergence, transmedia, and disruption off their lazy perches as one-stop explanations for the digital era. A must-read for those interested in film history, digital media, and media industries.\"\u003c\/div\u003e— John T.

This analysis of the case study of the struggle over Hollywood's feature films appearing on television in the 1940s and 1950s illustrates that the notion of \u003ci\u003ean\u003c\/i\u003e industry misunderstands the complex array of stakeholders who work in and profit from a media sector, and models a variegated examination of the history of media industries. Ultimately, it draws a parallel to the contemporary period and the introduction of digital media to highlight the fact that history repeats itself and can therefore play a key role in helping media industry scholars and practitioners to understand and navigate contemporary industrial phenomena.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eList of Abbreviations\u003cbr\u003e  Introduction: Media Disruption and Convergence\u003cbr\u003e  1 Systems of Authority and Evaluation\u003cbr\u003e  2 Exhibition, Audiences, and Media Consumption\u003cbr\u003e  3 Contracts, Rights, Residuals, and Labor\u003cbr\u003e  4 Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, and the Intervention of the Courts\u003cbr\u003e  5 Antitrust, Market Dominance, and Emerging Media\u003cbr\u003e  6 Feature Films Make Their Way to Television\u003cbr\u003e  Conclusion: Disrupting a Big Market Can Be Bumpy\u003cbr\u003e  Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e  Abbreviations Used in Notes\u003cbr\u003e  Notes\u003cbr\u003e  Bibliography\u003cbr\u003e  Index\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52563729056024,"sku":"9780813596228","price":119.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/broadcasting-hollywood-the-struggle-over-feature-films-on-early-tv-hardback-9780813596228","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
