Television on your doorstep

Examining the decentralization policies and processes that have informed the development of small-scale television programming in the member states of the European Union, this book focuses mainly on the regional level but also refers to the more complex world of urban television. More than 20 experts analyze the legal framework, structure, and financial operation of television in European cities. Particular attention is given to regional programming strategies and genres, the use of native minority languages, and the level of respect and sensitivity displayed toward regional cultural identities.
