rec: News for TV Majors

[promethia_tenk]

News for TV Majors does what it says on the tin: collections of links on tv-related topics, intended for people who actually get to study this stuff. Some of it is quite industry inside-baseball stuff: advertising trends, analysis of cord-cutting news, upfronts, etc. Other entries skew more towards fannish interests: picks of articles by tv critics, episode analysis, trends in current tv content. I've found a lot of great articles through this site, which I've been following for years.

The highlight, however, is Good TVeets, a (mostly) daily round-up of the funniest tweets about tv shows. Because we all need more of that in our lives.

When I first ran into this site, I assumed the 'tv major' part was a bit facetious, but no, it is really intended for tv majors and the like. But still great for those, like me, who just like to think about this stuff way too much.

try sound engineering lol, it's 2/3rds talking about what tv does. My favourite professor basically made a career of writing Doctor Who meta. Her office was a shrine to the BBC.

You know, this is probably going to be bad for my productivity. Because while I'm not majoring in TV or anything like it, I love finding out how stuff works. It's so fascinating and this is right up my alley.
