From the escapist dramas of the 1960s, which consciously avoided controversial points and glossed over life’s harsher realities in favor of an idealized portrayal, to the copious reality TV reveals in current years, on which members discuss even essentially the most personal and taboo issues, television has held up a mirror to society. The symbiotic nature of tv and culture is exemplified in each broadcast, from household sitcoms to serious news reports. The media trade today is characterized by so-called “vacation spot” and “ecosystem” media. The former are content material destinations for shoppers, whereas the latter use content material as a strategic asset in a much bigger portfolio of services.
