Persistent and Emergent Diversity Policy Concerns in an Evolving Media Environment:Toward a Reflective Research Agenda
Year: 2010
Type: article
Abstract: This paper illustrate the ongoing evolution of media diversity policy concerns in response to the changing technological, economic, and institutional dynamics of the contemporary media environment. This paper identifies persistent diversity policy concerns (i.e., those that are making the transition from the traditional to the new media policy agenda) and emergent diversity policy concerns (those that have arisen as a result of ongoing technological and institutional changes). Key points of focus for this analysis include the persistence of cultural diversity concerns such as trans-border content flows and emergent policy concerns surrounding the production and consumption dynamics of contemporary media users. This paper then extrapolates from these policy concerns the basic contours of a diversity research agenda that would reflect and inform these concerns.
