Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Falero discusses how the community at Television Without Pity took part in redefining authorship in the digital age. She explores the different dialogues on the site between community members as well as television industry insiders that touch upon ideas of power, control, and corporate influence. This chapter focuses on some of the heated arguments between those who have power in the television industry, and those on the site who attempt to assert some kind of cultural power via online discussion. In discussing the notion of authorship, she also discusses the role critics have played in popular media. This leads to an argument over whether communities like Television Without Pity are “democratizing” criticism, and explores the cultural impact of such a phenomenon.
