The media, arts and cultural industries present a positive image of good and fulfilling work whilst the artistic products of those industries are often imbued with moral and cultural value. Yet, we have become increasingly aware of the inequalities and injustices integral to these industries. These include the ways in which opportunities to participate in such work are unequally distributed, and how the material and immaterial rewards of doing so are unevenly spread, socially, as well as geographically, at national and global scales. Arts, cultural and media industry work has been further tarnished by recent and high profile revelations concerning the systemic abuses suffered by cultural workers from within powerful organisations which in turn must encourage us to reflect upon on the lasting legacies of the objects of this cultural work. Far from being 'good', work in culture, media and the arts increasingly appears as damaging, and divested of care or concern for others.
