Winner, 2020 Outstanding Book Award, given by the International
Communication Association Honorable Mention, 2020 Nancy Baym Book
Award, given by the Association of Internet Researchers How the
transformation of social media platforms and user-experience have
redefined the entertainment industry In a little over a decade,
competing social media platforms, including YouTube, Facebook,
Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat, have given rise to a new creative
industry: social media entertainment. Operating at the intersection
of the entertainment and interactivity, communication and content
industries, social media entertainment creators have harnessed
these platforms to generate new kinds of content separate from the
century-long model of intellectual property control in the
traditional entertainment industry. Social media entertainment has
expanded rapidly and the traditional entertainment industry has
been forced to cede significant power and influence to content
creators, their fans, and subscribers. Digital platforms have
created a natural market for embedded advertising, changing the
worlds of marketing and communication in their wake. Combined,
these factors have produced new, radically shifting demands on the
entertainment industry, posing new challenges for screen regimes,
media scholars, industry professionals, content creators, and
audiences alike. Stuart Cunningham and David Craig chronicle the
rise of social media entertainment and its impact on media
consumption and production. A massive, industry-defining study with
insight from over 100 industry insiders, Social Media Entertainment
explores the latest transformations in the entertainment industry
in this time of digital disruption.
