Corporations and Cultural Industries: Time Warner, Bertelsmann, and News Corporation, by Scott Warren Fitzgerald, fills an important neglected area in communication and media studies through its sustained, theoretically grounded, and empirically rich analysis of three of the most important global media conglomerates of our time: Time Warner, Bertelsmann, and News Corp. The book examines how financialization processes regear the internal operations of media corporations in a manner that pits one sector against another.
