Kill Your Television III
Emily Nussbaum contributes a thoughtful and engaging piece on the joys of participatory television in Salon. In it, she addresses the role that spoilers play in episode reports, the opportunities offered by access to program writers and directors, and the energy inherent in fan-driven online conversations. Nussbaum's personal account offers a nice balance to TV Turnoff Week, suggesting that participatory television could increase the social aspects and effects of TV programming and viewing.
