Recensioner i media

"Starks presents a persuasive argument that with the right amount of citizen awareness and political management, there is clear opportunity to create a new and better order of television." - Gregory Taylor, International Journal of Digital Television "The Digital Television Revolution is at its most valuable in the clarity of its historical account: the careful selection of detail and the analysis of the meaning of every twist and turn of digital history's early development..." - Michael Allen, Critical Studies in Television
