ACKNOWLEDGMENTS An incredible number of people and organizations contributed to this project. I have tried to list most of them below. I am especially grateful to Asbury College, my school, which has allowed me the flexibility as well as encouraged me to stay involved in professional television production around the world. The editors at Focal Press have been a constant encouragement, guiding me through the writing process: Elinor Actipis and Michele Cronin. I appreciate the reviewers who spent a significant amount of time reviewing the manuscripts and providing guidance: Joey Goodsell (University of Southern Mississippi), Trevor Hearing (University of Bournemouth), Tom Kingdon (Emerson College), Alan Lifton (University of Sunderland), Dustin Morrow (Temple University), and Larry Scher (Rio Hondo College).
