Introducing the book "Modern Television - Slices of 2015-2016"

In the 19th century, cinema lacked sound (only silent films produced by the Lummier brothers existed), and humanity did not yet have submarines, airplanes, radar, spacecraft, microscopes, lasers, or antibiotics. However, by the 20th century, we have many new, meaningful, and fascinating things, including television. Television is considered an invention that has fundamentally changed the way people think and live, contributing significantly to changing the world.

However, as we entered the 21st century, the emergence of these new forms of communication gradually changed the way the public, and television viewers in particular, receive information.

The public is becoming increasingly intelligent, and they also want access to smarter, more modern television products. So how can they access these products? And to meet the legitimate needs of the modern public, what kind of products should producers create? What are the similarities and differences between modern television technology and traditional forms?... Many questions need to be answered.

This book will provide answers and diverse perspectives on current television, traditional television, and will particularly focus on modern and future television content. Each perspective on television will be analyzed from different angles.

These fascinating insights will serve as suggestions and ways to frame questions, sparking a passion for exploring new research horizons among scientists, journalists, and those interested in the field of television.

This book is the culmination of the combined intellectual efforts of two of the largest journalism training institutions today: the Faculty of Journalism and Communication, University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Vietnam National University, Hanoi, and the Academy of Journalism and Communication. It marks the beginning of a series of further research by the authors.

This book is a useful reference for students, graduate students, leaders, managers, television reporters, and anyone interested in and passionate about this field.
