| Publisher Description: Television directors remain an enigma to most students of the mass media; traditionally, their function has been little understood by scholars and the viewing public. In this book, John Ravage studies the role of the director in the producer-dominated medium of commercial television. Built around lengthy interviews with twelve of the leading directors of commercial programs--representing all the genres of "prime time"--the book analyzes the major issues facing television, its past, present, and portents for the future, and the audience that watches it. |
