What is it like to work in the media? Are media jobs more
'creative' than those in other sectors? To answer these questions,
this book explores the creative industries, using a combination of
original research and a synthesis of existing studies.
Through its close analysis of key issues - such as tensions
between commerce and creativity, the conditions and experiences of
workers, alienation, autonomy, self-realization, emotional and
affective labour, self-exploitation, and how possible it might be
to produce 'good work' Creative Labour makes a major contribution
to our understanding of the media, of work, and of social and
cultural change. In addition, the book undertakes an extensive
exploration of the creative industries, spanning numerous sectors
including television, music and journalism.
This book provides a comprehensive and accessible account of
life in the creative industries in the twenty-first century. It is
a major piece of research and a valuable study aid for both
undergraduate and postgraduate students of subjects including
business and management studies, sociology of work, sociology of
culture, and media and communications.
