Patrick Champagne : Television and its image ; the influence of social conditions of reception upon the message.
In order to understand the meaning and the function given by the different social groups to television, one must break away from the frequently accepted representation of the public as an atomized mass of sets, and consider the structure of the group where the reception takes place. A priviledged instrument among the domestic pass-times, television contributes to strengthen a way of life centred on family life. The announcer seems objectively to play the role of giving to the television-message, meant for families in a family togetherness, a friendly, familiar and comforting aspect. Although television has a certain autonomy compared to the wide circulation press which is subject to specific economic pressures, it is nevertheless engaged in an almost total dependency relationship with the public's expectations. Because it is meant for a socially and culturally diversified public, television tends to convey a syncretic culture resulting from the combination of values and ideologies belonging to the working-class and the middle-classes, yet not entirely expressing the specific values and ideologies of one or other of these classes.
