This volume offers one of the first comprehensive, book-length 
examinations of how artificial intelligence is transforming, 
reorganizing, and recentralizing the global media economy. Moving beyond 
the familiar language of “disruption,” the book analyzes the structural, 
economic, managerial, technological, and regulatory consequences of AI 
across the full spectrum of media sectors and industries, including 
social media, internet and digital media, cable television, print media, 
broadcast television, radio, online news, news agencies, media markets, 
media competition, media innovation, media management, media business 
models, media economics, media concentration, media policy, media 
regulation, media marketing, advertising, and platform economies. The 
book examines a central paradox: AI can broaden participation in media 
production while concentrating control over the infrastructure, data, 
and platforms through which media are distributed and monetized.

The book’s scope makes it relevant to undergraduate and graduate courses 
in media and communication, telecommunications, e-commerce, software and 
internet studies, digital platforms, cultural studies, and artificial 
intelligence. It may also support research, teaching, and independent 
study across master’s and doctoral programs, including MBA, MA, MSc, 
PhD, and DBA programs.
