Topic: Streaming Television
Focusing Question: How has digital television changed what it means to be entertained?
London, Herbert. “Five Myths of the Television Age.” Television Quarterly, vol. 10, no. 1, 1982: pp. 81-
89. Proquest Central, doi:10.1002/tox.20155.
Herbert London, the Dean of Journalism at New York University and author of several books and articles,
explains how television contradicts five commonly believed ideas. He uses specific examples of events
seen on television, such as the assassination of John Kennedy, to illustrate his points. His examples have
been selected to contradict such truisms as: “seeing is believing”; “a picture is worth a thousand words”;
and “satisfaction is its own reward.” London uses logical arguments to support his ideas which are his
personal opinion. He doesn’t refer to any previous works on the topic; however, for a different point of
view, one should refer to Joseph Patterson’s, “Television is Truth” (The Journal of
Television vol.45, no. 2, 1995 pp. 120-135). London’s style and vocabulary would make the article of
interest to any reader. The article clearly illustrates London’s points, but does not explore their
implications, leaving the reader with many unanswered questions. Although this article was
published before the advent of streaming television, his reflections on instant gratification are
pertinent to my paper’s exploration of marketing strategies for “television on demand.”
