Sit Down And Be Counted: The Cultural Evolution of a Television Station - Paperback

by Lelia Doolan (Author), Bob Quinn (Author), Raymond Williams (Foreword by)

Republished for its 50th anniversary, Sit Down and Be Counted is an account of the establishment and early years of RTE television, by the people at the heart of defining what Irish television would be. With direct relevance to current debates on the role of public service broadcasting, and the impact of technology and advertising on its funding model, the authors set out a critique of broadcasting policy and practice which speaks to today's hottest issues.
