The 43 chapters presented here gather current international scholarship and multidisciplinary perspectives on cultural production and consumption. Contributors in media, communication, cultural
policy studies, English, and media economies highlight industry, policy, and socio-cultural themes in the field and assess current challenges facing the cultural industries. Part 1 examines the
cultural industries as a sector of the economy, with special focus on art and cultural industries. Part 2 addresses specific cultural industries, looking at how newspapers are adapting to the
digital era, the globalization of TV formats, the popular music industries, advertising as a cultural industry, and videogames. Later sections explore space and place, cultural industries and
labor, audiences and markets, and the policies and politics of the cultural industries. The book’s audience includes advanced students and scholars. Annotation ©2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland,
