Media, policy and markets provides a pathway for addressing the role of media policy in the contemporary media environment.

Approaching policy from a perspective that emphasises the dynamics between the media industry and consumers enables the module to investigate many of the key parameters for producing, promoting, distributing, exhibiting and consuming media outside of the strict confines of technical policy development.

By learning about the intersections of policy and business and evaluating how this impacts students as practitioners and consumers, they will be provided with necessary skills to evaluate some of the complex dynamics between media policy and an evolving industry.
