SMID – Sammenslutningen af medieforskere i Danmark

Hanne Bruun har udgivet bogen  ”Dansk tv-satire – Underholdning med kant bogens bagsidetekst:

Hvad er satire for en form for humor, og er det underholdning? Hvordan har satiren udviklet sig i dansk tv og hvorfor? Hvorfor gør tv-satiren grin med almindelige mennesker, og hvad blev der egentlig af den politiske satire i dansk tv? Hvorfor bliver tv-satiren næsten altid sendt på DR2?

Det er nogle af de spørgsmål, som Dansk tv-satire. Underholdning med kant besvarer. Den belyser og diskuterer tv-satirens programudvikling siden 1968, og den fremhæver den danske tv-satires særlige karakteristika. Den ser på, hvordan tv-satiren er blevet produceret, og den beskriver og modstiller to produktionskulturer, der har præget dansk tv-satire og dermed de programmer, seerne er blevet tilbudt.

Bogen er det første, større samlede bidrag om en dansk tv-satire. Den bygger på en omfattende genreanalyse af den danske satiretradition i spændingsfeltet mellem tradition og fornyelse. Den bygger desuden på interviews med producenterne af tv-satiren, fra tekstforfattere og komikere til redaktører og kanalchefer. På den baggrund diskuteres konsekvenserne af udviklingen for dansk public service-tv’s underholdningsprofil og de udfordringer, programtraditionen står overfor i et konkurrenceudsat mediemiljø.
