Summary	The television industry has evolved from a national and largely-monopolized sector to a commercial and global enterprise. This has profoundly altered the way 'historical truth' and shared memory are constructed and conveyed. Despite the tremendous impact of this development, it has yet to achieve the scholarly attention it deserves from both media economists and culture theorists. Tamar Ashuri provides a groundbreaking study of the changes through the vantage point of an illuminating mode of television production: international co-productions. By taking an example based on current events in the Middle East--a television documentary on the Arab-Israeli conflict co-produced by three television networks (BBC, PBS, MBC)--her study enriches contemporary media research.
