I am thrilled to begin my term as the new editor of Television & New Media. I have been researching and writing about television for more than 25 years. My dissertation (and first book) situated the cultural history of US public television within rising tensions around race, class, gender and cultural power. My scholarship since has addressed reality TV, convergence culture, and lifestyle media, among other topics. I have experienced the evolution of television from the broadcast era to a mediascape comprised of countless channels, digital platforms, interactivity and user-generated content. I have also watched the field of television studies scramble to keep up with a shifting object of inquiry. I am excited to take the helm of a journal that recognized the economic, technological and cultural intertwining of television and new media from an early stage.

我很高兴开始担任电视与新媒体的新编辑一职。我从事电视研究和写作已有25年以上。我的论文（和第一本书）将美国公共电视台的文化历史置于种族，阶级，性别和文化力量日益紧张的局势中。自那时以来，我的奖学金主要涉及真人秀，融合文化和生活方式媒体等。我经历了电视从广播时代到包括无数频道，数字平台，交互性和用户生成内容的媒体景观的演变。我还观看了电视研究领域的争夺，以适应不断变化的研究对象。我很高兴能担任一本从早期就认识到电视和新媒体在经济，技术和文化上交织在一起的杂志的掌舵人。
