Topic: Science on TV around the world
Skimming through the World’s Science TV Programmes
A few years ago, you could guess which country was producing which science programme.
Today, because of globalisation, it is no more true; but it still remain two types.
the international co-productions – mainly in the northern countries
the local “operational” productions – mainly the emerging countries.
Even, it remains some diversities; this is an invitation at “skimming” through the 5 continents’ TV programmes and discover how they inform the “citizen” to become able to choose the kind of society he wants to live in.
