Media Production & Distribution
Our research into media production and distribution examines various types of media: print, television, radio, internet, mobile media, etc. It includes the study of organisational management and the media-economy and comprises the search for tailor-made production and distribution models which are attuned to various types of user.
The central keynote within this field of research is the digitisation of media and the consequences of this for media production and distribution. As far as media production is concerned, we focus primarily on the study of innovative, digital workflows from the perspective of different users. The current practices, expectations and needs of professional and residential users are mapped for various types of media. Central themes in this regard include digital archiving and unlocking, the possibilities of User-Generated Content, Web 2.0 and semantic web technology.
On the distribution front, we examine the various processes for cross-media integration and distribution in order to obtain media-economic insights into content types, users and channels.
