• Resumen

  • The author discusses the catastrophe mentality which so often surrounds the debate about the role of television in contemporary society. The very notion of influence is applied in a less than rigourous way, and in general many other factors are not taken into account, factors which define the circumstances of the television audience and which have an effect on that influence. According to the author, television has become a scapegoat which takes on all the responsibility that other social agents should at least share. Furthermore, this catastrophe mentality is exaggerated by an erroneous comparison with a falsely idealised past in which television did not exist.
