About The Book

Göran Bolin’s Value and the Media: Cultural Production and Consumption in Digital Markets presents a compelling examination of how value is created, distributed, and interpreted in the contemporary media landscape. This first edition addresses the complex relationship between cultural production and economic structures in the age of digital media, where traditional boundaries between producers and consumers have become increasingly blurred.

In this insightful analysis, Bolin explores how media content—whether entertainment, news, or user-generated—circulates through digital platforms and is assigned value not just economically, but also socially and culturally. Drawing on media theory, economics, and cultural studies, the book investigates the roles of media industries, technological innovation, audience behavior, and global networks in shaping modern value systems.

Published by Taylor & Francis Ltd, this 176-page volume is essential reading for students and scholars of media studies, communication, and cultural theory. It offers critical perspectives on how digitalization is reshaping the ways we engage with and evaluate media in our everyday lives.
