Kate Keib and Keith Herndon. “Reshaping broadcast television: Employment patterns reflect shifting work in a consolidating sector.” Presented at the Media Management, Economics and Entrepreneurship Division, AEJMC Mid Winter conference in Oklahoma, February 2016.
Abstract: This work looks at the back story behind television broadcasting’s ability to maintain – even expand – its employment, while newspaper publishing and radio broadcasting have seen significant declines in employment. We also explore how shifts in specific television broadcasting occupations reflect the effects of industry consolidation.
