This work reports findings from a major study of the impact of broadcast television on the remote island community of St Helena in the South Atlantic Ocean. Broadcast television was introduced to the island for the first time in March 1995. This represented a major event on the island, whose only televisual experience had been through video. In the years leading up to the introduction of TV, this work did in-depth interviews with the people at every level of society, adults and children, and assembled and coded the results to give baseline measures. Once TV had arrived, they collected data annually from the island on the key dependent measures.
