Innovation is about change, and media products and services are 
changing. The processes of production and distribution of media are 
changing. The ownership and financing of media are changing. The roles 
of users are changing. And our ideas about media are changing.

This book argues that innovation theory provides better tools for media 
researchers who wish to understand and explain current developments in 
the media landscape – tools that not only allow them to see completely 
new things, but also to investigate aspects of new media that would 
otherwise not be as accessible.

The various chapters of the book present selected studies that together 
illustrate how a more explicit focus on innovation and innovation theory 
can provide new insights into and generates knowledge about how media 
innovations develop, the sociocultural conditions of such innovations, 
the role of technology, and power relations in media developments.
