Cultural capital
From The TV IV
				
								
				
				
																
				
				
								
				Cultural capital refers to the perceived value of a media product. Specific media and genres carry pre-determined associations that create a value in the eyes of the consumer. These associations calculate worth based on time spent and knowledge gained. Film is thought to be more culturally worthwhile than television. The higher a medium's cultural capital, the more acceptable its consumption.
