Making Sense of Television The Psychology of Audience Interpretation

New technological developments and increasing leisure time ensure that television will continue to structure and influence people's experiences and understanding of their social world far into the future. 'Making Sense of Television' addresses an issue central to the social psychological perspective on the mass media - how viewers interpret the programmes that they see. A critical review of relevant literatures in psychology, communications and literary critisism is followed by an analysis which seeks to integrate these research literatures to provide a new perspective on the audience's everyday interpretations of television.Livingstone, Sonia M. is the author of 'Making Sense of Television The Psychology of Audience Interpretation' with ISBN 9780080367606 and ISBN 0080367607.
