Abstract

As media makers, companies, and industries are increasingly dependent on digital platforms to publish and promote their work, media content becomes a contingent commodity. This chapter discusses how to research the process of platformization and explores the powerful role platforms have in shaping professional media production, thereby aff ecting the autonomy of media makers.
