Abstract
If we take the late 1960s as a starting point an explicitly defined
‘critical political economy of communications’ is fifty years old. How
salient today are the core concerns that shaped this tradition? What are
the emergent themes in contemporary critical media studies? Jonathan
Hardy will discuss his book-length review of critical political
economists’ work (Hardy, Jonathan. Critical Political Economy of Media:
An Introduction. London: Routledge.), and reflect on what their
approaches can offer for contemporary investigations into the problems
of the media.
