ER, Law & Order, and The Sopranos are just a few of the dramas that launched a new era of television at the turn of the millennium. TV Creators gives scholars and fans alike an exclusive, firsthand account of the lives, philosophy, and contribution of some of the best writers and producers of the last fifteen years.
In one of the few books of its kind, James L. Longworth, Jr. reveals the drama behind the dramas, with producers sharing often never-before published stories and observations: The Sopranos producer originally envisioned Robert Di Niro and Ann Bancroft as the lead characters in the now highly successful series about mob life. NYPD Blue's co-creator was once offered the presidency of CBS by William Paley, but he turned down the job. The Emmy-winning producer of Homicide and Oz owes his discovery to Gwyneth Paltrow and her mom, Blythe Danner. The successful creator of Providence also created Touched by an Angel, but was fired over a pilot that never aired. The Oscar-winning producer of Shakespeare in Love, and co-creator of Thirtysomething and Once and Again, had a chance meeting with Woody Allen that helped launch his film and television career.

Mediated Identity in the Emerging Digital Age: A Dialogical Perspective: A Special Issue of Identity
The several contributions in this issue illustrate the process of mediated dialogue in a digital age. The first article shows that culture and self-like society and identity-are conceived as mutually inclusive. The next paper shows how technology is able to create a new form of dialogue that is very personal and very public at the same time. The authors of the third paper are interested in the field of education in which they observe a dichotomy between individualistic and contextual concepts of learning. Next, Short Message Service-a rapidly growing medium of communication, particularly popular in circles of young people in Europe and increasingly in North America and elsewhere-is covered. The last two papers focus on television which is seen as a "social space" that offers a variety of possible self-images through audience discussion programs, its participants, and the disclosure of private stories and historical changes in the notion of space.
