in China and the West should learn from each other. Documentaries and China’s National Image makes us realise that, although the communication strategies of the national image in Chinese documentaries have undergone various changes over time, the national agenda has always constrained the creation of documentaries within its own framework. The book is rich in case studies within a certain theoretical framework, and this is the first time the book has been translated into English, which opens a window for international readers to understand Chinese documentary creation.

television exists for everyone. By attending to the diversity of television and the experiences of those watching, Holdsworth breaks down hierarchies of value and challenges the dominance of “quality” television within television studies. A landmark book that will undoubtedly be a foundational text and a catalyst for further research, On Living with Television offers its reader a much-needed alternate perspective on what it means to watch and live with television.

This is a case study of 40 years of policy approaches in Australian children’s television during which the children’s television production ecology was profoundly altered by new distribution technologies. For decades Australia used quotas, subsidies and screen organisation The Australian Children’s Television Foundation to safeguard supplies of children’s television including drama. Digitisation has caused enormous industrial disruption while delivering abundant children’s content on demand. The article calls for new approaches to supporting local children’s screen content through increased funding of public service media rather than the ad hoc distribution of resources to an organisation without direct pathways to audiences.

Despite critical and popular acclaim, the travel/food television series of Anthony Bourdain have not received much academic attention. This paper examines the negotiations required of the series’ production team with regard to industry and ethics, including engagement with multiple forms of ‘quality’ to acquire audience share, which can exist in tension with the ethical requirements of veracity and protecting factual media subjects from harm. Ultimately, this paper shows that, while the series did negotiate both industrial and ethical requirements with regard to the places and cultures they represented, they were prone to ethical slippage with regard to practitioner/subject Bourdain himself.
