Books:

 

          Brand Identity for Television: With Knobs on 

Lambie-Nairn Martin, With Knobs On – Brand Identity for Television. London: Phaidon, 1997.

     Martin Lambie-Nairn was a pioneer in television branding and motion graphics bringing the dynamic graphic treatments of print to the screen. In this book he describes the inspiration and insights for the work he developed for television channels in both Europe and the USA. Despite being published over fourteen years this beautifully illustrated book remains one of the leading reference texts on the subject.

Media Promotion & Marketing for Broadcasting, Cale & the Internet. Burlington, MA: Focal Press, 2006.

     This book covers basic information and will be of use for anyone starting out in the industry.  There are separate chapters on promoting local, network, cable and public television. It also has a useful glossary to help beginners make sense of some of the jargon. However it is already out of date regarding the latest industry trends.

Value Creation and Branding in Television’s digital Age ©1999 by Timothy Todreas

 

     Todreas’ book covers topics from distribution, technology and digital branding.  One of the more interesting topics covered is the distribution in cable, broadcast and digital.  This is essential reading to grasp the history of television branding.

     The one drawback is the price of the book.  Todreas book cost $110, but despite the price tag, there are several praises of the author and the content.

Media Selling: Broadcast, Cable, Print and Interactive. July 2003, Wiley-Blackwell by Charles Warner and Joseph Buchman 

This is the bible of Media Sales and Management. Very similar to a training manual or a how to for someone looking to gain the skill and knowledge needed to sell media across multiple platforms. This book is an extremely important tool for students, first year sales assistants and even veterans of the field. This covers media math, media economics, media sales ethics and even presentation skills.

Henry Jenkins-- Switching Channels: Branding Network TV in an Era of Mass-less Media

http://bit.ly/extHXT

     Henry Jenkins is the Provost's Professor of Communication, Journalism, and Cinematic Arts at the University of Southern California. He arrived at USC in Fall 2009 after spending the past decade as the Director of the MIT Comparative Media Studies Program. (www.henryjenkins.org May 15th, 2011).

     The great part of Henry’s blog is that he updates it regularly.  I enjoy bloggers who do take the time and effort to update their blogs.  Jenkins generally takes an academic style to his blog posts, however the posts are relevant to modern broadcasting and branding topics. I encourage anyone who's interested in media and broadcast to add Jenkins blog to your reader.
