Multi-platform media and the digital challenge: Strategy, Distribution and Policy
Project Information:
This three-year ESRC-funded project investigates how digital convergence and growth of the internet are affecting media companies and content. It focuses on the widespread migration of media businesses towards diversified digital distribution and multi-platform growth strategies and the impact this has had on economic efficiency, the organization of production, and on the nature and diversity of content. Using key case studies, our study examines current organisational responses to growth of digital delivery and associated economic and policy implications. The project commenced in July 2012 and is being conducted by Principal Investigator Professor Gillian Doyle, Co-Investigator Professor Philip Schlesinger and Research Associate Dr Katherine Champion.
