Abstract   Our intent with this study was to find out what changes have been made during the last 30 years in the way that the media reports from certain events. We choose to study the world of football and specially the Swedish national team and it’s relationship to the Swedish television medium in the World Cup of 1974 and the World Cup of 2006.   The study mainly focuses on the differences in commentary and in the production from both of the championships. We used Keith Selby and Ron Cowdery’s book How to study television and Mats Ekström and Lars-Åke Larsson’s book Metoder i kommunikationsvetenskap as tools to analyze the games we watched.   The result showed that there’s been a lot of changes media wise between the two championships. Most of the changes have been made because of the evolvement of the media industry and also because the viewers are getting better knowledge of the subject and thereby demand that the media keeps up with their pace.   The main differences in commentary and production regarding both championships can be found in the picture production. By adding more cameras, developing the picture quality and adding better sound the overall experience of a football game have increased. From 1974 when a game was just distributed from the arena to the viewers home to 2006 when the game is a complete experience.     Title: “From ‘high and good’ to ‘watch out for Gerrard’” A qualitative study of genre change   Year: 2009   Authors: Johan Bagewitz and Björn Lundblad   Number of pages: 70   University: Växjö universitet   Keywords: Media and Communication, Television production, Football

The following thesis is an examination of audio engineering for television broadcast production. The extensive sound design, implementation, and production of television programming are to be examined from the perspective of four individual productions of diverse genres. A variety of skills necessary to produce each of the programs are discussed in detail.

This study has a twofold purpose. The first is to determine through the administration of selected instruments the educational needs of television production personnel employed by businesses and industries engaged in the production of non-commercial television programs. The second is to develop a community college curriculum based on the assessed needs of the production personnel.

There have been recent contributions to the world city literature and the new economic geography literature that have focused on city connectivity and practicebased research, through concepts such as city actor-networks, relational geographies and project-led enquiries. As this literature is developing, this thesis aims to analyse and contribute to it by providing an empirical focus in two main themes that have so far been marginalised in these literatures – the city of Sydney, and the cultural industries. An alternative conceptualisation of world cities, namely ‘new urbanism’, which employs Actor-Network Theory, will be utilised in this thesis to ask the question, what are the actants of Sydney’s cultural industries (specifically the film and TV production industry), and how are they enrolled to create the spacing and timing of Sydney’s actor-networks? By answering this question, this thesis will contribute to the knowledge in three ways: theoretically, by adding weight to the alternative concepts of new urbanism and relational economic geographies; empirically, by studying two themes that have been hitherto underdeveloped in the existing literature; and methodologically, through new developing empirical agendas that cover the quantification of Sydney’s world city network and ANT-inspired ethnographic, ‘project-based’ enquiry.

This study examines the infotainment versus social responsibility debate as it applies to local television newscasts in the United States. An overview of the concerns surrounding infotainment as news follows, including a look at a newsroom's traditional responsibilities to its viewers, as well as its current role in adding to parent company profit. Socially responsible hard news and infotainment characteristics are defined as they apply to television news broadcasts, both within the context of news story content and in presentation style. A descriptive content analysis examines these characteristics within the late night local newscasts airing in Portland, Oregon. Portland is a large broadcast news market with over one million potential local news viewers. It is also a community with an exceptionally high rate of civic engagement (Abbott, 2001; Putnam & Feldstein, 2003). Its media coverage of the city, however, has been the subject of criticism by local columnists and national journalism scholars. A socially responsible news product would provide the city's residents with the information needed to continue the trend of participation, community betterment, and overall citizenship knowledge.

This project was written to tap the creative potential in children and to familiarize them with the medium that is so close to their daily lives -- television.Daily instruction included lessons in creative expressions and music experiences, as well as television production and programming. Activities in creative expression included pantomine, role-play, clowning, and puppetry. An introduction to music instruments, exercises in solo and group singing, and opportunities for creative dance were among the music experiences offered. Daily lessons in television production and programming comprised instruction in script writing, an introduction to studio equipment, crew roles, production teminology, as well as "hands on" experiences with video equipment. Children were given opportunities to apply their learned skills by writing original scripts and assuming positions as technical members and talent during video taping sessions. The video tapes that resulted were samples of what a program such as this can produce in our children today.
