Mental Wellbeing in Media Work / European Regulation and Production Investment by Streamers / Irish Media and the Feminist Movement

Mark Deuze (University of Amsterdam) highlights issues of mental wellbeing in media work, and the paradox of professionals equally voicing unhappiness and joy about their working lives. Ivana Kostovska (Free University of Brussels) reflects on how regulatory responses amongst European nations to the popularization of video streaming services are variously obliging streamers to invest in local production. Finally, Aoife Quinn Hegarty (Technological University of Dublin) offers an overview of her research analysing historical shifts in how Ireland’s feminist movement has been informed by and used the country’s media.
