Platform-Enabled Crowd-Driven Media Entrepreneurship

2008 - 2016

The 2008–2016 period saw media entrepreneurship align with platform logic, elevating crowd-based value creation, co-creative labour, and startup-like approaches within media industries. Research converged around the educationalization of media entrepreneurship, participatory platforms, and novel funding logics, using mixed methods that span case studies, economic analyses, and ethnographies of digital labor. Entrepreneurship emerged as an ecosystem process embedded in policy, education, and technology infrastructures, shaping career paths and measurement in media ventures.

Educationalization of media entrepreneurship: integration of entrepreneurial thinking into media curricula and institutional support to develop industry-ready skills, reflecting changing career paths and the rise of startup-like ventures [7], [1], [15], [16], [19], [20].

Co-creative labour and consumer participation: media value increasingly arises from user-generated content, co-created experiences, and participatory platforms shaping both economies and cultures [2], [3], [12].

Characterization and typology of media innovations: field-level distinctions and adoption characteristics that set media innovations apart from other sectors [4], [11], [12], [8].

Financialization and investment logics in media: capital flows, funding constraints, and new revenue models that influence consolidation and strategic decisions [18], [19], [20], [9], [8].

Entrepreneurship as process and ecosystem: converging individual entrepreneurial activity with institutional, policy, and social-innovation contexts to explain growth of media ventures [15], [16], [14], [17].
