Produktbeschreibung
This book offers a comprehensive understanding of key concepts and terms in media economics and management and explains their applications using relevant data. Beginning with a conceptual study of media markets, industry structures, firm behaviour, public policy, production, pricing and consumption choices in media industries, the book uses the framework to present an in-depth examination of the management of four major media industry sectors in India: newspaper publishing, television broadcasting, film and digital media industries. It also deals with two topics relevant across media business sectors: creative industries approaches and copyright issues. The book discusses the economic forces and factors that shape the workings of media industries and institutions in India to highlight trends in a business that is rapidly evolving, highly profitable and marked by regional, linguistic, economic and cultural diversity. This volume is a step towards formalising the emerging field of media economics and management within the discipline of mass communication and journalism as an area of research and education in India.

An accessible guide to the basic principles and concepts of media economics and management, with illustrations from Indian and global media industries, this will be an essential resource for students, researchers and teachers of media and communication studies, media economics and management, political economy and sociology as well as for professionals in media industries.

Rezensionen
"A well-written, accessible text suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students. The authors build a solid foundation in the economics of media as it has mainly been developed in western countries, and apply it with excellent effect to understand Indian television, newspapers, film and other media."

David Waterman, Professor Emeritus of The Media School, Indiana University

"The academic study of the media and its management in India has not kept pace with the transformation of the media industry, which has grown exponentially in the past two decades. Elavarthi and Chitrapu's timely book fills an existing gap in scholarship in this field and would be extremely useful for students and researchers."

Daya K. Thussu, Professor of International Communication, Hong Kong Baptist University

"The authors have written a must-read primer for anyone considering a career in media economics and management. It is a valuable resource for all students, teachers, scholars, and practitioners in the media industries."

Sundeep R. Muppidi, Professor of Communication, University of Hartford

"Two excellent scholars have provided a highly readable and comprehensive introduction to an important field of study. This book will be a superb guide for students and scholars interested in understanding the economic forces and factors that shape the workings of media industries and institutions."

Aswin Punathambekar, Professor of Media Studies, University of Virginia
