Scope of Media Economics Research / Media Making as Peace Making / The Role of Television Production Managers

Ulrike Rohn (Tallinn University and the ScreenMe podcast) introduces the scope of research in media economics and media management, and her work co-editing The Handbook of Media Economics. Yuval Katz (Loughborough University) draws on research conducted in Israel/Palestine to discuss how the creation of media can offer a space for conceptualizing peace. Finally, Christa van Raalte (Bournemouth University) talks about the role of production managers in UK television, reflecting on the industry’s problem retaining PMs, and the feminisation of the role.
