The Cultural Industries combines a political economy approach with the best aspects of cultural studies, sociology, communication studies and social theory to provide an overview of the key debates surrounding cultural production.

Considers both the entertainment and the information sectors
Combines analysis of the contemporary scene with a long-range historical perspective
Draws on an range of examples from North America, the UK, Europe and elsewhere
Hesmondhalgh's clearly written, thoroughly argued overview of political-economic, organizational, technological and cultural change represents an important intervention in research on cultural production, but at the same time provides students with an accessible, indispensable introduction to the area.
