Profile VIEW Journal of European Television History and Culture is the first peer-reviewed, multi-media and open access e-journal in the field of television studies. It offers an international platform for outstanding academic research and archival reflection on television as an important part of European cultural heritage. With its interdisciplinary profile, the journal is open to many disciplinary perspectives on European television – including television history, media studies, media sociology, cultural studies and television studies. The journal acts as a space for critical reflection on the cultural, social and political role of television in Europe’s past and present. It also provides a multi-media platform for the presentation and re-use of digitized audiovisual material.

All articles in the journal should make use of audio-visual sources to be embedded in the narrative: not as “illustrations” of an historical or theoretical argumentation, but as problematized evidence of a research question. Aim Journal of European Television History and Culture aims at filling a critical niche in the existing scholarly landscape by focussing on the cultural richness and historical importance of European television cultures and by emphasizing the transnational importance of television as a medium of circulation and appropriation of aesthetic conventions, political ideas, cultural norms and social values. To realise this aim, we publish two kinds of articles: Academic Research Articles and Audiovisual Essays Academic research articles are theoretically informed, and have a strong empirical and methodological focus. These contributions should have a European focus or be relevant for the understandi
