Have you carried out research that has subsequently attracted interest from policy makers, journalists or creative industry professionals?
I’m writing a long journalistic article about why Media Studies matters and, as well as addressing the field’s constant struggle for recognition, want to point out that some people outside the academy are beginning to take more seriously Media Studies research. For example, two areas where there has been at least some interaction are children and media, and media plurality.
Are there other areas where any of you have had meaningful or productive dialogue (however modest) with people outside the academy?
Equally, I’m also happy to hear about frustrated attempts to be taken seriously, and any other comments you may have.
In an ideal world, the piece will get published in The Long Read in The Guardian, but that will be the biggest challenge of all…
Many thanks,
