La investigación sobre la televisión local en España: nuevas agendas ante el reto de la digitalización

Abstract

This paper attempts to offer an overall view of the state of research in the field of local television in Spain, which is in the middle of the digital transition. It also suggests the main areas that should make up the research agenda in this field, taking the form of five spheres of reflection: the structure of the local television sector; communication policies; local television content and services in the context of digitalisation; reception and the audience for local digital television; and political communication in the context of television digitalisation.
