Description

Content: A Concise Introduction to Content and the Content Industry Kate Eichhorn explores how content has evolved from the early internet to the current social mediaverse, examining its impact on culture, politics, and labor in a digital age. The author considers what differentiates user-generated content from professionally produced content, and investigates the growing importance of artists' "content capital". The rise of the content industry has affected various fields, including art, literature, journalism, and politics. Eichhorn examines how these fields have adapted to this new landscape. She also explores the concept of "content capital", which refers to an artist's ability to produce content not about their work, but about their status as artists. This book provides a concise introduction to the complex world of content and its far-reaching effects on our society.
