Description
Summary:"This edited volume offers a global overview that impact the COVID-19 pandemic, and other significant crises, have had on media industries and how they've responded. With accounts from the frontlines of local and national film, television, streaming and social media industries, this book provides a stakeholder framework, management lessons, and urgent commentaries to unpack the nature of crisis management and communication. The text examines how these industries have not only survived, but often thrived amongst a backdrop of critical national and regional emergencies, wars, financial meltdowns, and climate disasters. This international collection - featuring case studies from sixteen countries - examines how media industries managed all of these crises, successfully rebranding themselves as 'essential' while making power plays in politics, economics, and culture.
