This revealing book goes behind the scenes of normative principles
of media independence to investigate how that independence is
actually practiced and realized in everyday working life. Taking an
ethnographically rich journey through European news organizations,
Elena Raviola exposes the diverse and complex ways in which the
ideal of independence is upheld, and at the same time inevitably
betrayed, in the organizational life of media companies. Elena
Raviola presents a distinct organizational analysis of media
independence throughout the book, offering a close study of three
news organizations in Europe - the largest Italian financial
newspaper Il Sole-24 Ore, the largest Swedish regional newspaper
company Stampen and the French pioneer online-only news website
Rue89. In each of them, the implications of digitalization on their
practices of independence is explored and analyzed. The book
ultimately sheds light on how digital technologies are practically
reshaping democratic principles such as media independence, while
being embedded in the existing organizational and professional
structures of democratic societies. Organizing Independence will
enrich the reader's understanding of media independence in
practice, beyond the normative principles, and so will be a key
reference point for researchers in management and organization
studies, media studies and anyone interested in the future of
media.

Arts and Business aims at bringing arts and business scholars
together in a dialogue about a number of key topics that today form
different understandings in the two disciplines. Arts and business
are, many times, positioned as opposites. Where one is providing
symbolic and aesthetic immersion, the other is creating goods for a
market and markets for a good. They often deal and struggle with
the same issues, framing it differently and finding different
solutions. This book has the potential of offering both critical
theoretical and empirical understanding of these subjects and
guiding further exploration and research into this field. Although
this dichotomy has a well-documented existence, it is reconstructed
through the writing-out of business in art and vice versa. This
edited volume distinguishes itself from other writings aimed at
closing the gap between art and business, as it does not have a
firm standpoint in one of these fields, but treating them as
symmetrical and equal. The belief that by giving art and business
an equal weight, the editors also create the opportunity to
communicate to a wider audience and construct a path forward for
art and business to coexist.

As reflected in the title of the book, the contributions here
describe a series of artistic and activist actions in different
places sing different forms of aesthetic styles to challenge the
existing order of things. Nine chapters present specific situations
in Europe and the US in a multilocal dialogue. This multifaceted
collection questions contemporary ideas and actions in the face of
the Great Transition. It offers a suite of case studies that are
linked by elective affinities, an immediate and intuitive
accordance between both the activists and the authors despite their
differences. All actors tend to reflect a similar concern for their
direct environment in proposing and documenting utopian forms which
are also dealing with the past and present with a form of
tenderness for the "here and there".This shared sympathetic
interest explains why the book also corresponds to a form of
engaged scholarship. The chapters contribute to the long roll of
historical debates and conflicts on "what is to be done" at present
and in the near and distant future.
