Television Journalism is a timely survey of the history, development, present and future of television reporting. Looking into and beyond the daily vehicles of news bulletins, Steve Barnett traces the multiform strands of current affairs broadcasting and situates them in their political and social context, examining how institutional priorities and obligations have shaped the nature of television journalism.

In offering critical and empirical discussion of the industry's demography, its role as government watchdog, and its legal, political and ethical influences, Television Journalism acts as a bridge between theory and practice, and is an essential resource for all students and practitioners of the discipline.
