      ab: This article presents an analysis which focuses on the politics of representation involved in the production of a community campaign around the public television documentary "The New Americans." The documentary traces the lives of immigrants from five countries over three years as they prepare to leave their home countries and make new lives in the U.S. The article considers the institutionally and socially situated context of narrowcast documentary reception and production and investigates the textual and social practices through which a coalition of stakeholders used a major television broadcast documentary to produce narrowcast videos tailored to particular audience groups for intended outcomes.
