On 14 October 2024, the Political Economy Section hosted a book talk on Political Economy of Media and Communication: Methodological Approaches.
Featuring contributions from many IAMCR members across the globe, this volume offers a diverse range of methodological perspectives and represents the state of the art in the field. It explores key topics such as ownership concentration and power, pluralism and diversity, regulation and public policy, governance, gender, and sustainability, while connecting these methods with adjacent approaches.
This collection charts the methodological innovations critical political economists are adopting to analyse a rapidly transforming digital media landscape, exploring ideology, narratives, socio-analysis and praxis in communication with ethnographic and participatory approaches, as well as designs for quantitative and qualitative methods of textual, discourse and content analysis, network analyses, which consider power relations affecting communication, including intersectional oppressions and the new developments taking place in artificial intelligence.
Date and time: Monday 14 October @ 16h00 UTC (10h00 Mexico City). See the time of this event in you current location.
The talk will be in English and Spanish. The audience can take advantage of the Zoom captioning function for real-time interpretation.
