Media Industries cover

Media Industries: History, Theory and Method is among the first texts to explore the evolving field of media industry studies and offer an innovative blueprint for future study and analysis.

  • capitalizes on the current social and cultural environment of unprecedented technical change, convergence, and globalization across a range of textual, institutional and theoretical perspectives
  • brings together newly commissioned essays by leading scholars in film, media, communications and cultural studies
  • includes case studies of film, television and digital media to vividly illustrate the dynamic transformations taking place across national, regional and international contexts

"We have Holt and Perren's superb book to help us move forward. Media Industries will be of great interest to students and scholars considering an industrial turn in their research. The book can be successfully integrated into existing undergraduate and graduate film and television classes. It can also be taught as the centerpiece of a course we will hopefully see cropping up more and more: media industry studies." (Television & New Media, March 2010)
