Description

Tracking the Tiger delivers a rigorous, analytical examination of the modern landscape of Irish television production. The book traces how broadcasters and independent creators navigated the shifting cultural currents, increased funding, and globalized markets associated with the Celtic Tiger era and its subsequent fallout. By evaluating landmark drama series, scriptwriting innovations, and institutional policies, the author demonstrates how domestic television reflected—and often challenged—the country’s rapid modernization, secularization, and changing social values. It stands as an essential reference work for media studies departments, contemporary film historians, and creative writers exploring the mechanics of visual storytelling in Ireland.
