Reviews / Votes
"As the field of media production research widens, the need for comprehensive work to guide us grows. This truly international volume therefore provides an immense service." (Mark Deuze, Professor of Mediastudies, Director, Research School for Media Studies, University of Amsterdam)
"Reaching back to production researchers' root concerns with media power, the contributors indeed "advance" conversations about research into the ways media power has diffused to new workplaces, contexts, and workers. The special focus on methods gives readers a buffet of options when considering their own research projects." (Vicki Mayer, Tulane University, USA)
