The third in the "Understanding the Moving Image" series, this book aims to provide a critical and theoretical base for the study of the media. It offers innovative ways of talking about the key concept of representation, and also looks outside our ethnocentric mediated world to see how we are represented to others.

Distinct from "magazines," children's comics are a discreet and fascinating medium, superficially familiar to us all, yet rarely the subject of study in Media Studies. But comics have been with us in their current form for over a hundred years and they remain hugely popular with their audience and very lucrative for their owners. Beginning with "A Short History of Comics," the Teacher's Guide explores every area of the subject likely to be of relevance to the Media teacher: Comic Language―comic "codes", and how to read them; Industries and Institutions―from conglomerates to cults and cross-media synergy; Censorship―the history of comic book regulation in the USA and the UK; Audiences―who reads children's comics? And are they bad for them? Representation―comics and gender, race and nationality; Superheroes and Naughty Kids―the history, and appeal, of Superman, Batman and  Dennis the Menace.

Reality TV has emerged as a significant category of television production, fueled by new technologies that offer unprecedented intimacy, immediacy, and interactivity. Reality TV gives ordinary people the chance to become celebrities through video diaries and "to camera" monologues that blur the boundaries between public and private spaces. The formats of reality TV include docu-soaps, docu-games and challenges, video diaries, true crime procedurals, emergency service programs, and lifestyle shows, such as makeovers, talent contests, and talk shows. They remain resilient, morphing and adapting themselves to become an integral part of our popular culture. Teaching Reality TV situates the form within the history of documentary and conducts an analysis according to text, audiences, producers, and debates. Case studies demonstrate key concepts through specific texts, supplemented by activities, lesson plans, references, resources, and a glossary.
