THIS BOOK, the first of its kind in Tamil, provides a detailed and encyclopaedic analysis of the world of television.
It deals with every aspect of television – its invention, channels, compeering, production, location shooting, art of writing, lighting, cinematography, visual language, camera angle, direction, editing, computer graphics, reporting and interviewing. It also has exhaustive articles on television and cinema; television serials, influence on information media and increase in news television, news presentation and reading, and advertisements.
And, the author generously punctuates his elaborate study with basic introductory discussions about concepts and illustrations that are pertinent to his highly-structured analysis.

As one actively involved in this medium I can say that this is a remarkable accomplishment.
