We just wanted to let you know that the new issue of Flow: A critical forum on
television and media culture is out. This issue features columns by Mark
Andrejevic, John Corner, Nichola Dobson, Jeffrey Johnson, Amanda Lotz, and

Please visit the journal at http://www.flowtv.org to read these columns and

"The Regeneration of Doctor Who: The ninth Doctor and the influence of the
slayer" by Nichola Dobson:

"Is it Live or is it Real?: Live Television's Shrinking Significance in Modern
Life" by Jeffrey Johnson:

adopted a different form?

How network branding, promotion and scheduling determine the success or failure
of network shows.

"The Lure of American Idol Explained: Parasocial Relationships and Emotional
Vicarious Living in Live TV" by Carol Morgan:
It may be "mindless" television, but the relationships formed between the home
audience and the contestants of American Idol illuminate the current state of
the American Dream.

We look forward to your visit.

Best wishes,

Flow Editorial Staff
