Description

Explore the realities of working in media through this comprehensive analysis from Routledge. Creative Labour examines whether media jobs are genuinely more creative than other sectors by synthesising original research and existing studies. The book investigates critical tensions between commerce and creativity, worker conditions and experiences, alienation, autonomy, self-realisation, emotional labour, and self-exploitation across three cultural industries. It addresses fundamental questions about the nature of creative work, the demands placed on media professionals, and the possibility of achieving meaningful, fulfilling employment in an industry often characterised by precarity and intense pressure. Ideal for students, researchers, and professionals seeking to understand the complexities and contradictions inherent in contemporary media work.
