[ecrea] New book: Global Media Giants

Thu Jun 09 21:23:10 GMT 2016





Join us for the launch of the new collection,/Global Media Giants (edited by /Benjamin J. Birkinbine, Rodrigo Gómez, and Janet Wasko) at IAMCR in Leicester, July 28, 12 noon (site to be announced).

Global Media Giants takes an in-depth look at how media corporate power works globally, regionally, and nationally, investigating the ways in which the largest and most powerful media corporations in the world wield power. Case studies examine not only some of the largest media corporations (News Corp., Microsoft) in terms of revenues, but also media corporations that hold considerable power within national, regional, or geolinguistic contexts (Televisa, Bertelsmann, Sony). Each chapter approaches a different corporation through the lens of economy, politics, and culture, giving students and scholars a thoughtful and data-driven guide with which to interrogate contemporary media industry power.
