About
TBS
Transnational
Broadcasting Studies grew out of a perceived need for a publication
dealing specifically with questions of broadcasting that transcends
borders. We are interested in examining the cultural, political,
social, and economic implications, and technological developments,
of transnational broadcasting.
Ever-increasing
convergence means that transnational broadcasting is not a limited
field of study but the wave of the future. With the convergence
of satellite, Internet, and wireless telephony, national broadcasters
employing these technologies—even if they remain interested
only in their own national audiences—are by definition
transnational broadcasters.
TBS is
published by the Adham
Center for Television Journalism at the American
University in Cairo, which supports a one-year intensive diploma
program training students to be video journalists capable of
producing their own stories from beginning to end: filming,
video editing on two-machine and digital non-linear systems,
scriptwriting, and interviewing and other on-camera work.
The journal
is supported by an editorial advisory board consisting of both
mass communications scholars and professionals in the field
from around the world. Our correspondents and contributors,
drawn from around the Arab and Islamic worlds, draw on a wealth
of specialities and experience that bring valuable depth and
focus to the journal. Call for papers.
