TY - JOUR TI - The TV Series: The New Quality or Nothing New Whatsoever? Introduction AU - Lisowska-Magdziarz, Małgorzata TI - The TV Series: The New Quality or Nothing New Whatsoever? Introduction AB - The TV Series: The New Quality or Nothing New Whatsoever? Introduction The article is an attempt to define the quality tv series and to identify the differences between the neo-series and more traditional syndicated tv production. The author analyzes the narrative structures, aesthetics, formal complexity and the topics of the quality series while situating them within the context of the contemporary televisual apparatus. She also points to the connections between the new tv series and the technological changes within the mass media communication (interactivity and mobility in particular), the media convergence, the evolution of the producer – receiver relationships leading to the participatory model of the media use, and the change in the media protocols.   VL - 2016 IS - Volume 59, Issue 1 (225) PY - 2016 SN - 0555-0025 C1 - 2299-6362 SP - 1 EP - 15 DO - 10.4467/2299-6362PZ.16.001.5178 UR - https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/zeszyty-prasoznawcze/article/od-redaktora-seriale-nowa-jakosc-czy-stare-w-nowej-odslonie KW - quality tv series KW - narrative KW - aesthetics KW - televisual apparatus KW - interactivity KW - mobility KW - participation KW - media protocols
