Using over a decade of ethnographic research, Digital Participatory Culture and the TV Audience explores the rise and fall of a site that some heralded as ground zero for the democratization of television criticism. Television Without Pity was a web community devoted to criticizing television programs. Their mission was to hold television networks and writers accountable by critiquing their work and ?not just passively sitting around watching.? When executive producer Aaron Sorkin entered Television Without Pity?s message boards on The West Wing< in late 2001, he was surprised to find the discussion populated by critics rather than fans. His anger over the criticism he found there wound up becoming a storyline in a subsequent episode of The West Wing wherein web critics were described as ?obese shut-ins who lounge around in muumuus and chain-smoke Parliaments.? This book examines the culture at Television Without Pity and will appeal to students and researchers interested in audiences, digital culture and television studies. 606 $aSocial media 606 $aMotion pictures and television 606 $aUnited States?Study and teaching 606 $aHumanities?Digital libraries 606 $aEthnography 606 $aSocial Media$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/412020 606 $aScreen Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/413000 606 $aAmerican Culture$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411010 606 $aDigital Humanities$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/836000 606 $aEthnography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X12060 607 $aUnited States$2fast 607 $aUSA$2gnd 615 0$aSocial media. 615 0$aMotion pictures and television. 615 0$aUnited States?Study and teaching. 615 0$aHumanities?Digital libraries. 615 0$aEthnography. 615 14$aSocial Media. 615 24$aScreen Studies. 615 24$aAmerican Culture. 615 24$aDigital Humanities. 615 24$aEthnography. 676 $a302.30285 700 $aFalero$b Sandra M$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01058278 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255255903321 996 $aDigital Participatory Culture and the TV Audience$92498483 997 $aUNINA
