Additionally, I’d like to thank my parents and my friends for putting up with my incessant mentioning of how much work I always had to do when writing this thesis. Their patience and understanding was tremendous and helped motivate me to continue on at times when I felt uninspired. And lastly, I’d like to thank my brother for always calling me back whenever I needed help eloquently naming all the concepts and patterns that I could only describe in my head. Having a trusted ally to bounce ideas off and to help better express my observations was invaluable.

    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2019 Societal relevance as success factor of TV series: the creators’ perception Verhoeven, Marcel Posted at the Zurich Open Repository and Archive, University of Zurich ZORA URL: https://doi.org/10.5167/uzh-170818 Dissertation Published Version Originally published at: Verhoeven, Marcel. Societal relevance as success factor of TV series: the creators’ perception. 2019, University of Zurich, Faculty of Arts. Societal Relevance as Success Factor of TV Series: The Creators’ Perception Thesis Presented to the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences of the University of Zurich for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Marcel Verhoeven Accepted in the Spring Term 2019 on the Recommendation of the Doctoral Committee: Prof. Dr. Gabriele Siegert (main advisor) Prof. Dr. M. Bjørn von Rimscha (second advisor) Zurich, 2019 0 Abstract Media mediate societally relevant messages in formats that disseminate information. However, the communication of ideas and opinions on societal issues also takes place in entertainment formats such as fictional TV series. Furthermore, mediation in entertainment is often regarded as more effective than dissemination through information formats, (also) due to the evading of recipients’ selection barriers. The importance of investigating TV series bases on the format’s large narrative space that enables the communication and repetition of ideas and messages and on the format’s popularity with audiences and, consequently, with broadcasters. Countless different influences shape the composition of TV series’ content and the inclusion of societally relevant messages. One potentially very important reason for incorporating specific messages and content elements in TV series is the extent to which decision-makers regard societal relevance as a success factor.
