This unit prepares students for a fast changing world of media enterprise and creative labour by introducing them to different ways of thinking about media work and the media and communication industries. The unit examines the different social, cultural, organisational, regulatory and ethical aspects of a changing and 'disrupted' industry landscape. Students undertake a case study or project relevant to their own field of interest and develop critical and practical skills in research design, project management, and other common activities used in the contemporary professional working environment.
