In the face of ongoing digitisation, The Markets for News examines how
certain established economic features of the news industry have
persisted and what makes them such stable frameworks for journalistic
organisations. Drawing on an analysis of Scandinavian news industries,
this text revises journalism’s economic foundations in the context
of the algorithmically driven platform economy. Exploration of
features such as journalism’s two-sided market model, the network
effect of platforms, and chain ownership, leads to a discussion about
how journalism faces disruption from the introduction of artificial
intelligence in the production, dissemination, and sale of news. As
journalism undergoes transformations due to revenue losses, this book
recognises a return to certain enduring features of journalism’s
organisational form, in particular the chain ownership form, that
enables scale in adapting to platform logics and economics. This text
serves as a basis for a theoretical discussion about strategic media
management and critical political economy in the age of digital
disruption. This is an insightful book for academics and researchers
in the fields of journalism, media industries, media policy and,
communication studies.
