Contrary to popular belief, the reason is not audiences or marketing, but Wall Street. In this book, Andrew deWaard shows how the financial sector is dismantling the creative capacity of cultural industries by upwardly redistributing wealth, consolidating corporate media, harming creative labor, and restricting our collective media culture. Moreover, financialization is transforming the very character of our mediascapes for branded transactions. Our media are increasingly shaped by the profit-extraction techniques of hedge funds, asset managers, venture capitalists, private equity firms, and derivatives traders. Illustrated with examples drawn from popular culture, Derivative Media offers readers the critical financial literacy necessary to understand the destructive financialization of film, television, and popular music--and provides a plan to reverse this dire threat to culture. 606 $aFinancialization$zUnited States 606 $aMass media$xEconomic aspects$zUnited States 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Media Studies$2bisacsh 615 0$aFinancialization 615 0$aMass media$xEconomic aspects 615 7$aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Media Studies. 676 $a338.4730223 700 $adeWaard$b Andrew$01765542 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910880000903321 996 $aDerivative Media$94207271 997 $aUNINA
