International Journal of Cultural Studies has a call for papers. Of interest:
New Media, Cultural Production, and Work: A first domain of research would focus on historical contexts and critical discussions of the role of media work in contemporary society. Key concepts used in the field-new media, digital culture, work, culture and creative industries, media professions-should be highlighted and clearly articulated with co-creative practices old and new.
Media Professions: In a second domain we are looking for investigations of key media professions journalism, game development, television and motion picture production, advertising, public relations and marketing communications, popular music, fashion in terms of the changing nature of work in these professions, focusing on the convergence of the roles of professionals and amateurs and the implications for professional and/or organizational identity, and the management of creativity in a context of the signaled shift towards co-creative labor.
Stacy Broff, president of Diamond Girl Public Relations, wouldn’t necessarily classify herself as a star, however she would say she’s the captain of the cheerleading squad behind each client. Since venturing out on her own two and half years ago, she realized it was one of the best things she’s done for herself, not to mention extremely exciting. It seems to be a trend amongst her peers as well as close friends in this business, seizing the opportunity to become their own boss and ultimately earn a better living.
