Beyond Broadcasting
Issue No 126 (February 2008)
Theme Editors: Graham Meikle and Sherman Young

Our themed section in this issue is a superb collection of papers entitled ‘Beyond Broadcasting? TV for the Twenty-First Century’. With traditional models of television and broadcasting straining to account for the complex and genuinely unexpected, if much heralded, changes now unfolding, our guest editors Graham Meikle and Sherman Young have brought together Australian-based, expatriate and international scholars. These seven papers, and the accompanying introduction, offer detailed, closely observed and rigorously theorised studies of key dimensions of the emerging television and broadcasting landscape. We congratulate Graham and Sherman, and their contributors, for really advancing our understanding of this treacherous and shifting (not to mention cliché-riddled) terrain.
