cultural industries

1.It refers to the creation, production, and distribution of products of a cultural or artistic nature.

2.They tend to be societies that support the conditions where large companies, and their political allies, make money.

3.This is because the cultural industry companies need to continuously compete with each other to secure audience members due to the fact that companies challenge each other.

4.Risky business,creativity vs commerce,high production costs and low production costs and semi public goods [the need to create scarcity].

5.The cultural industry company is reliant on other cultural industry companies to make audiences aware of the existence of a new product or of the uses and pleasure that they might get from experiencing the product.The aim of cultural industries is to stand  out and represent different ideas which might be controversial which would result in low profit.

6. I think that media should be about both since when a creator wants to make profit they consider the interest of the audience and the profit motivates the creator to create media with artistic expression that can influence and have an impact on a specific age group.

7.Through vertical integration which is when a  media company owns a range of business in the same chain of production or distribution. By keeping their business in the same production there is less risk since they have experience and knowledge on how to make it successful.

8.I think they should be rewarded because many industries play it safe and do not express the right ideologies over fear of losing profits so cultural industries who take that risk of losing profit to benefit the audience  and impact them positively should be rewarded.

9. The audience are not that convinced since it is not that realistic or relatable which makes them lose interest.


10. A large company that owns a range of small companies.

11. I do not agree with this statement because in the western nation there have been a lot of media texts that represent diversity by incorporating characters of different cultures getting involved with each others cultures and the characters do not react to this sharing of culture which normalises it.

12.There is a difference in multiplicity,the number of voices and diversity.I think these are the most significant because a larger number of voices and more people stepping up will create a larger impact on the audience and increase profit and by cultural industries becoming more diverse it attracts a variety of audience because it is more repeatable.
