- This 226-page monograph develops an analysis of the mediation of suffering including television audiences responses. The analysis is based on an intensive 20-month ethnographic study of television and audiences in the Philippines, drawing on life interviews and focus groups with participants across the class spectrum. As an example of a recent ‘moral’ turn in media research, the book offers an analysis of how ethical dilemmas and questions are at the heart of both representations and receptions of suffering. The case study (Filipino television) is specific, but the analysis focusses on universal concerns about television, witnessing and moral responsibility.
