Críticas

"Was television "good" for documentary? Hard to believe this question was once posed, since television has so clearly become the dominant institution controlling what counts as "documentary." This shift is well reflected in Alan Rosenthal and John Corner's thoughtful and remarkably comprehensive anthology, which is a substantially revised version of Rosenthal's original 1987 collection. In come welcome discussions not only of "docudrama" and "dramadoc" - subtly different genres - and timely reflections on the spread of "docusoap" as the documentary impulse finds new ways of staying on primetime television." --Ian Christie, Professor of film and media history, Birkbeck, University of London "Was television 0;good1; for documentary?
