The work of Louis Althusser is analysed in a movement towardsa semiological theory of ideology.  \nThe thesis then examines work on the media that has developedout of this broad tradition -notably cultural studies,textual analysis,discourse analysis and the semiotics of film and T.V.  Detailed attentionis paid to the theory of encoding and decoding,and,in particular,thework of David Morley.  The objective of this examination is to set upthe encoding/decoding model within a semiological framework for use inpractical research on the T.V.audience.  \nThe audience research itself is based upon an exhaustive analysisof fifty in-depth interviews with viewers following a screening of apre-recorded News at Ten.The aim of the research was not to investigatethe views of the fifty decoders,but to establish how and why readings oftelevision programmes are constructed -the process of decoding.  \nThe research is presented in three stages,  The readings of oneitem(about British Leyland)are scrutinised in order to establish anappropriate set of variables for understanding the decoding process,  Thesevariables are then used to systematically analyse the readings of anothersingle item(about troubles in the West Bank).  The points raised duringthis analysis are then developed in relation to readings of the wholeprogramme。  \nThe research reveals a number of problems in the form and characterof television news.The thesis therefore ends with a set of recommendationsfor overcoming these problems.  \n# INTRODUCTION\n\nTelevision today represents one of the most important sourcesof information available to our society.  Hours upon hours of wordsand images flood from the T.V.screen into most peoples homes everyday.  It has become part of our environment,as varied or repetitiveas the jobs we do when we are not watching it.  It teaches us,tellsus stories,makes us laugh,makes us angry-it guides us into awhole series of different worlds and asks us to position ourselvesin relation to them.  \nThere is no shortage of research attempting to understand thenature and significance of this extraordinary cultural phenomenon.In spite of this,television has become powerful and influential farmore quickly than our ability to comprehend and analyse that power andinfluence.  Social scientists have,Bince the popular use of the T.V.set,been preoccupied with particular questions about it,as well asfixed within particular frameworks for answer","cbCaivm2GQWLjFW0","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivm2GQWLjFW0","pdf",23672916,307,"English","# Introduction\n## Rethinking Ideology\n## The Meaning of Signification\n## The Encoding/Decoding Model\n## Preliminary Notes on Decoding Research\n## Decoding British Leyland\n## Decoding the West Bank\n## Decoding News at Ten\n## Changing Television News\n## Appendix\n## Bibliography","[{\"question\":\"What is the main aim of the thesis on television news decoding?\",\"answer\":\"To develop audience research by adapting theoretical approaches to an empirical study of how viewers construct readings of television programmes through decoding.\"},{\"question\":\"Which theoretical foundations does the thesis use to frame its research?\",\"answer\":\"It combines semiology and theories of ideology, analyzing Louis Althusser, and extends this through traditions such as cultural studies, textual and discourse analysis, and film/TV semiotics.\"},{\"question\":\"How is the empirical research conducted in the thesis?\",\"answer\":\"It is based on an exhaustive analysis of fifty in-depth interviews with viewers following a screening of a pre-recorded News at Ten, focusing on the decoding process rather than on the viewers’ opinions alone.\"}]","Decoding Television News - read online free | PDF",774]
