The media franchise has become an integral element of American media culture, and this edited collection explores its production, distribution, and marketing as a historical form of media-making. It examines how traditional media incumbents have responded to the rise of new entrants from the technology sector, and takes a critical look at the way new and old industrial logics collide in an increasingly fragmented and consolidated mediascape.
