The widespread adoption of digital platforms, spanning from YouTube and Instagram to Twitch and TikTok, is reshaping cultural production in profound, intricate, and profoundly uneven manners. Long-established media industries are undergoing a seismic upheaval, while emerging industrial formations, such as live-streaming, social media influencing, and podcasting, are rapidly evolving.
In their comprehensive exploration, Poell, Nieborg, and Duffy delve into the processes and ramifications of platformization across various cultural industries. They identify significant shifts in markets, infrastructures, and governance dynamics at play in this ongoing transformation, as well as pivotal changes in labor practices, creativity, and democratic norms. The authors emphasize three specific industries—news, gaming, and social media creation—while also drawing upon examples from music, advertising, and other fields. Diverse in its geographic scope, Platforms and Cultural Production builds on the latest research and insights from across North America, Western Europe, Southeast Asia, and China to unveil crucial distinctions and surprising similarities in the trajectories of platformization worldwide.
Presenting a novel conceptual framework rooted in illuminating case studies, this book serves as a vital resource for students, scholars, policymakers, and practitioners seeking to comprehend the profound transformations underway in cultural production and the implications of platform power.
