[Commlist] Opening for Full Professor of Media & Cultural Industries, University of Groningen

We are looking for a full Professor of Media and Cultural Industries, 
with an emphasis on processes of digitalization, datafication and 
platformization, to join our vibrant department of Media Studies and 
Journalism at the University of Groningen.

For this Chair the media and cultural industries in all their facets are 
central, with an emphasis on processes of digitalization, datafication 
and platformization. Media are central to the cultural industries, also 
known as the creative industries. Cultural industry scholars are turning 
their attention to the growing cultural influence of the technology 
sector. Tensions and collaboration between tech giants and the 
traditional cultural sector is reshaping these industries and the 
cultural content they produce. This has implications for cultural 
creators, for citizens, and for culture. How are citizens impacted and 
how do policy makers at all levels respond? How do platform politics 
influence which stories get told and which ones get ignored? What 
happens when cultural texts are reframed as 'content'? What is at stake 
when cultural curation is outsourced to algorithms and how does the 
automation of cultural production affect work and meaning? These 
questions are central to this new chair of Media and Cultural industries.
