Other fields of enquiry include (in partnership with Leicester Media Productions and the Documentary Media Centre) work on creative, practical and reflexive film-making, Investigative Journalism with Channel Four (see MDC's new edited book: https://www.routledge.com/Journalism-Power-and-Investigation-Global-and-Activist-Perspectives/Price/p/book/9781138743090), and the Media and Health section, led by Jason Lee).
