We’re happy to share another article coming out of our project’s WP1 on Policy and Regulation, in the International Journal of Cultural Studies. In ‘People, personalisation, prominence: A framework for analysing the PSM shift to digital portals and interrogating universality across contexts’ we propose a framework that can be applied by future PSM work, based on the operationalisation of platformisation in PSM policy documents and strategy.

We identify the shared priorities across ten media organisations in seven media markets: Belgium—Flanders and Wallonia-Brussels, Canada, Denmark, Italy, Poland, and the UK. The study is based on the qualitative analysis of 61 documents, outlining the PSM remit and how they report and present themselves to governments, collaborators, and audiences, contextualised by ongoing national and regional debates.

The article is co-authored by Catalina Iordache, Dan Martin, Julie Mejse Münter Lassen, Tim Raats, Filip Świtkowski, Katarzyna Gajlewicz-Korab, and Catherine Johnson.
