New journal on digital television launched

In the recently launched International Journal of Digital Television, Jinna Tay and Graeme Turner, editors of Television Studies After TV (Routledge 2009), comment: ”The question for us now… is not so much a matter of whether we are seeing the end of television as a form of content, but rather a way of mapping the varying formations and configurations of the presentation and distribution of television – and asking of each… ‘how is this still television?’”  Well, whether all these forms are still ’television’ or not is less relevant than the question how the new screen-related formations and configurations affect our ways of communicating. The first issue of  the International Journal of Digital Television is accessible online.
