"In some of the countries, to a greater extent Spain and the Hispanic USA, fiction consistently occupies at least 40% of the programming time. This occurs in countries that, due to income levels, should be those with a higher degree of access to other sources of fiction audiovisual content, such as

pay TV or streaming platforms. In contrast to these cases, we can observe Argentina, Brazil and Mexico, where fiction barely exceeds 15% in the years of greatest participation and is close to 10% in others. Paradoxically, both Brazil and Mexico are fiction producers and exporters to the rest of the region. Halfway between both extremes, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Portugal, Uruguay and Venezuela can be observed in the years in which it has been possible to observe their behavior. Since open television is a system of contents structured in schedules associated with household routines, it is worth asking about differences in roles and uses of television by audiences or the eventual substitution of these roles by alternative media or genres. The second aspect is one of trends. Except for the case of Spain, the general trend seems to be towards a decrease in the involvement of fiction in programming. And, although the Top 10 most watched fiction productions offer a very partial view of the whole, they also show a decrease in time of the audience levels reached." (Pages 24-25)

"This book makes English speakers aware of the dimensions, operation, and significance of the globalisation of television in the Spanish-speaking world. Second only in scale to the market for English-language programming, the Spanish-language market embraces not just most nations of South and Centra

l America but also Spain, and even the United States – the sixth largest Spanish-speaking country in the world. This intercontinental space is connected physically by satellite communication, and culturally by a common language and heritage which binds it as both a ‘geolinguistic region’ and an ‘imagined community’ which certain media corporations, Latin American and North American, seek to exploit. A similar phenomenon with regard to Brazil and the Portuguese-speaking world is also examined, with special attention to its comparable features and points of exchange with the Spanish-speaking world. The book chronicles and analyses the development and structure of the globalisation of these markets as a ‘Latin world’." (Abstract)

"Does minority media contribute to ethnic cohesion and cultural maintenance? Or does an ethnic media encourage assimilation into the dominant culture by espousing that culture's products, images, and values? Ethnic Minority Media explores these issues by providing a broad sampling of case studies th

at span a variety of ethnic minorities and countries. Each case study presents the different cultural, political, and economic conditions that figure prominently in the media's role in ethnic survival or demise. The contributors, many of them internationally regarded journalists, primarily study the print and broadcast media that minorities have established for their communities. They focus on previously neglected minority media in the United States (Hispanic and Native), Great Britain (Welsh), Ireland (Irish), Canada (Native), Australia (Aboriginal), Israel (Romanian), France (Occitan and Basque), Greenland (Inuit), Chile (Native), and Algeria (Berber). They analyze this phenomena on many levels, defining crucial terms, considering different audiences, and contrasting ethnic and mainstream media." (Publisher description)
