1.) use the cultural industries approach — this is the TV studies approach that suggests that texts are informed or determined by their industrial context
– in this approach your thesis might read like the following: “X show is a contemporary example of Y genre that has been deeply impacted Z change in the business of TV”
– we have read several academics that write in this tradition and follow this general template in their writing (Lotz, Johnson, Sanson, Hills (to some extent))
– although cultural industries writers don’t engage in prolonged theoretical debates and exegesis, they do often use, deploy and elaborate on theoretical concepts, that is generalized abstracted notions that are broadly applicable to several specific examples or phenomena in TV
– for example, portals, apps, data, brands, live, and quality are all “theoretical” ideas that can be investigated in the consideration of any individual series / programs
– and lastly, method and evidence for cultural industries implies some combination of industrial, business analysis along with textual analysis or close readings of actually programming — as well as combining the two together
