Critical Studies in Television (CST)

Critical Studies in Television: The International Journal of Television Studies is a key peer-reviewed scholarly platform that advances critical and interdisciplinary research on television within the broader fields of media and cultural studies. Published quarterly, the journal fosters rigorous analysis of television’s content, production practices, aesthetics, and audience engagement, examining television through social, cultural, historical, and political lenses. Its articles address diverse topics, including institutional histories of television networks, production studies of broadcast and streaming services, reception research on audiences and fan cultures, and theoretical contributions that challenge conventional approaches to television scholarship. The journal also features book reviews, thematic debates, and scholarly dossiers that deepen critical engagement with contemporary and historical television texts. By drawing on perspectives from disciplines such as sociology, communication, cultural theory, and critical media studies, Critical Studies in Television cultivates a rich intellectual environment where emerging issues—such as platformization, globalization of television formats, visual culture, and the aesthetics of screen media—are explored in depth. It emphasizes accessible yet analytically robust scholarship that resonates with academics, advanced students, and researchers in television and media studies worldwide. Its editorial board includes international scholars who contribute to the journal’s interdisciplinary and comparative scope, making it an influential forum for shaping debates in television research.
