#SaveChuck: The Effectiveness of Fan Campaigns to Save Television Shows

Saland, Ariel E 01 April 2013 (has links)

Beginning with a background of active audience reception theory and the evolution of fan studies, I identify what elements are necessary for a successful fan campaign. The most important factors of a successful campaign are numbers and adherence to the television economy.

I also explore how the Internet, particularly social media, has changed both the perception of fans and the effectiveness of fan campaigns.
