Literary program (television)
A literary show is a genre of television that is about conversations and reviews of literature.
features
Content and form overlaps and transitions to other genres include film biographies , documentaries , talk shows and film essays . Despite their low production costs, literary programs have remained a domain of public television . To this day, literary figures and literary lovers have reservations about the television and film medium. Criticisms include commercialization, trivialization and subjectivism. On the part of the television broadcasters, the chronically low audience rate of this television format is criticized, so that literary programs are usually only broadcast on late broadcast dates in the third television programs. Proponents of literary programs appreciate the opportunity to be able to form a better judgment about the quality of the works discussed.
The establishment of literary programs led to a profound transformation of the book market. Positive reviews or fierce controversies about a work increase sales by several times the average sales. Not only owner-managed bookstores, but above all book trade groups such as Thalia , Hugendubel and Weltbild base their current range of books on the selection of books discussed in a literary program.
Individual prominent literary critics in the medium of television have developed into a major market power in terms of book sales. In Germany this was mainly Marcel Reich-Ranicki and Elke Heidenreich , in France these were for a long time Bernard Pivot's literary programs Apostrophes and Bouillon de culture . The monthly best list of Südwestrundfunk , which was brought to life in the 1970s by the writer and literary critic Jürgen Lodemann with other colleagues in the literary magazine program, has a lesser but constant influence on reading behavior .
