Colin Jon Mark Crawford conducts a discursive analysis of Netflix and its 'investor lore,' examining the multi-sited narrative of value found in the company's investor relations materials and corporate communications, such as letters to shareholders, financial earnings reports, executive interviews, press releases, and blog posts. Netflix is a prime example of the increasingly ubiquitous nexus of culture, tech, and finance industries that constitute platform television. To better understand the emergent financial logics of this relatively new media industry, scholars of media studies, television studies, technology studies, and economics will find this book particularly useful.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 229 x 152 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781793625304\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Colin Jon Mark Crawford","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44102189056250,"sku":"9781793625304","price":38.54,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_695fc8f0-eda9-4e59-83cd-26ed41a111c7.jpg?v=1664209269","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/netflixs-speculative-fictions-financializing-platform-television-9781793625304","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
