不仅日常对话越来越依赖电视，而且越来越多的人出现在电视上讨论社会和个人问题。这些节目对公众有什么好处吗？还是说它们只是廉价的垃圾娱乐节目？《电视谈话》探讨了电视公共辩论的价值和意义。作者分析了包括基尔罗伊、多诺霍和《奥普拉·温弗瑞秀》在内的一系列节目，采访了演播室的参与者和在家观看节目的人。他们问媒体是如何管理讨论节目的，这些节目是否真的为公众参与者提供了新的“空间”。当节目出现在屏幕上时，他们会发现观众是如何解读节目的，并打破构成这一类型的传统——辩论、爱情、治疗。他们还考虑了电视作为教育和信息媒介的功能，最后讨论了这种类型在未来为观众参与和公共辩论带来的危险和机遇。
Not only is everyday conversation increasingly dependent on television, but more and more people are appearing on television to discuss social and personal issues. Is any public good served by these programmes or are they simply trashy entertainment which fills the schedules cheaply? Talk on Television examines the value and significance of televised public debate. Analysing a wide range of programmes including Kilroy, Donohue and The Oprah Winfrey Show, the authors draw on interviews with both the studio participants and with those watching at home. They ask how the media manage discussion programmes and whether the programmes really are providing new 'spaces' for public participators. They find out how audiences interpret the programmes when they appear on the screen themselves, and they unravel the conventions - debate, romance, therapy - which make up the genre. They also consider TV's function as a medium of education and information, finally discussing the dangers and opportunities the genre holds for audience participation and public debate in the future.
