Media Industries in Crisis: What COVID Unmasked

Editat de Vicki Mayer, Noa Lavie, Miranda Banks
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 apr 2024
This edited volume offers a global overview of the immediate impacts the COVID pandemic had on local and national film, television, streaming, and social media industries—examining in compelling detail how these industries managed the crisis.
With accounts from the frontlines, Media Industries in Crisis provides readers with a stakeholder framework, management lessons, and urgent commentaries to unpack the nature of crisis management and communications. The authors show how these industries have not only survived, but often thrive amidst a backdrop of critical national and regional emergencies, wars, financial meltdowns, and climate disasters. This international collection—featuring case studies from 16 countries—examines how media industries managed all of these crises, successfully rebranding themselves as “essential” while making power plays in politics, economics, and culture. The chapters reveal key lessons for the meltdowns, tectonic shifts, and struggles ahead.
This collection will be of interest to media and communication students, particularly those focused on media industries, crisis communications, and management, as well as to practitioners working in media industries.

Recenzii

“In the midst of viral emergency, economic stagnation, and the world on fire, Media Industries in Crisis takes us to the maelstrom of spectacular catastrophe – where the production stakes are high, workers are exhausted, and it’s only the corporations that are really cleaning up. This expansive and inclusive book most vividly captures the ambivalent role of media in the global omni-crisis; a collapsing new world of risk, danger and - dare we hope - radical opportunity.”
Mark Banks, Professor of Cultural Economy, University of Glasgow, UK
“If you need a refresh on what an unflinchingly rigorous and thoroughly global political economy approach can reveal about contemporary media, look no further than Mayer, Lavie and Banks’ Media Industries in Crisis: What COVID Unmasked. Equally refreshing is their melding of traditional media industries disciplinary foci with critical deployment of core elements of public relations and management disciplines such as crisis communication and crisis management. This disciplinary détente is then directed at engagingly diverse studies of how, in the time-honored fashion of big business, media industries during the pandemic tried never to let a good crisis go to waste.”
Stuart Cunningham, co-author, Social Media Entertainment: The New Intersection of Hollywood and Silicon Valley
“Vicki Mayer, Noa Lavie, and Miranda Banks have assembled an indispensable volume on contemporary media industries in our age of health, economic, and political crisis. With the global COVID pandemic as the core historical focus, the essays crackle with powerfully relevant analysis on such topics as changing distribution patterns, intimacy coordination, on-set health protocols, and production conditions in a variety of international settings. Media Industries in Crisis is an absolutely essential read for anyone interested in the dynamics of entertainment media industries and labor today.”
Alisa Perren, Professor and Director of the Center for Entertainment and Media Industries, Department of Radio-Television-Film at University of Texas at Austin, USA
“Media Industries in Crisis manages a seemingly impossible task: Simultaneously showing how the pandemic fits within a larger history of how media industries have managed crisis while also providing grounded, localized case studies of diverse stakeholder responses around the world, this collection is a vital resource for media industry researchers and practitioners alike. Editors Mayer, Lavie, and Banks – along with their 20 contributors – offer a vital snapshot of a transformative time for the global media industries and its breadth of media workers.”
Charles R. Acland, Concordia University, Montreal, author of American Blockbuster: Movies, Technology, and Wonder
“It’s beneficial to live on a damaged planet, at least for some. This lively collection is as varied as pandemic responses have been, but better organized. Articles are united by a desire to understand the issues stirred up by COVID-19 across the globe, from venture capital investors to on-set intimacy coordinators, streaming services to cinema chains. A timely multi-national contribution to one of Media Studies’ core research fields.”
Dr. Patrick Vonderau, University of Halle, Germany
