Media Industries and Cultural Production Research Group

Description

The Media Industries and Cultural Production research group brings together researchers with an interest in empirical and theoretical works that engage with research on media production, policy and regulation.

In exploring such works, this group draws from an array of approaches, such as critical political economy, the sociology of culture and organisational studies, radical media sociology and cultural studies.

It also considers historical and contemporary issues across a broad range of industries; from film, television, music, radio and publishing; to advertising, marketing and PR; to web design, video games and digital games.

The key research themes of the Media Industries and Cultural Production research group include:

• cultural and digital work
• critiques of capitalist cultural production and consumption
• the social and cultural value of symbol making in modern societies
• the influence of digitalisation on cultural production
• cultural and media policy, including urban and international cultural policy
• copyright
• public service media
• the relationship between media industries and the environment/climate change.
