- This monograph examined how the digital multiplatform delivery of television is affecting the role performed by cultural intermediaries responsible for talent identification and development. It drew on extensive original fieldwork research with interviews involving key stakeholders across the UK television and social video sectors such as broadcasters, commissioning editors and talent agents. Given the complex nature of gaining access to these groups, the field work, involving research trips to London and Manchester was carried out over 12 months and generated a large volume of transcripted interview material.
