From Corporate to Social Media (eBook, PDF)

Critical Perspectives on Corporate Social Responsibility in Media and Communication Industries

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book provides a critical and provocative perspective on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in media and communication industries. It examines both the academic discourse on CSR and actual corporate practices in the media sector, offering a double critique that reveals contradictions between corporate interests and social responsibilities. This book encourages the reader to explore the multifaceted social (ir)responsibilities that shape commercial media landscapes today. It makes a compelling argument for thinking beyond the corporate in order to envision and bring about truly social media.
