Managing Media Work provides a comprehensive, cross-national overview of the theory and practice of working in the media in the digital age. Focusing on three key areas—new media work, media professions, and media management—this text prepares students to effectively manage their own media careers and to manage human capital in creative companies. Written by leading international scholars, the book addresses the increasingly global, networked, and unpredictable nature of the media industry as well as the growing complexities of media work.

“For years, media scholars have all but ignored those who manage and work in the cultural industries. This collection takes a major step toward overcoming this shortcoming by bringing together an impressive and diverse group of international scholars to expand what we know about the creative industries. Deuze has done us a great service by putting together this touchstone volume.”

Catherine McKercher & Vincent Mosco
authors of Knowledge Workers in the Information Society and The Laboring of Communication.

"Managing Media Work is a bold and original volume that shows how talent, passion, and personality play out in the media business, shaping not only individual careers but also the fate of entire corporations. With authors from business schools, communications, and cultural studies, it will appeal to anyone hoping to enter the creative industries, and to everyone who studies them."

Eric Klinenberg
Professor of Sociology at New York University

"This rich, varied, informative and bang-up-to-date collection will be a terrific resource for students, teachers and researchers. The editor has done a great job in bringing together a set of leading figures who wouldn't normally be found in the same pages."

David Hesmondhalgh
author of The Cultural Industries

Will be using Chapters 16 through 19 as reading material in our course.

The text breaks up the industry into specific mediums so that a developing undergraduate/trainne journalist can further develop their skills with an understanding of the demands of an industry. An understanding of the theoretical and vocational aspects of practice are vital to any undergraduate in journalism/media studies and this text brings together the historical with the economics and individualisation of the different areas of the industry. Each individual section is broken down into bite size areas that any student will be able to use to mange their work within university and in the media.
