Chapter 1 - Introduction (Deuze & Prenger) (pp. 13-27)
Media production = Issues at play within, across, and around the institutions and forces that create
our media, our information and our culture.

Media professions = the more or less demarcated fields of work that make up professional life in the

- Imbalance results in underpaid workers
5. Flexibility
, Michelle Broer, januari-maart 2021
- Numerical flexibility = the creative use of workforce numbers to manage a media
organisation
- Functional flexibility = everyone is multi-skilled and not fixed in one job/task
- Temporal flexibility = no 9-5 workday, flexible schedules
- Financial flexibility = individualized and performance-based systems of rewards
- Results in: Presentism A form of limiting and defusing concern for one’s work and
career prospects by focussing on the present.
6. Precarity
- Lack of control in your professional career
- Importance of a permanent self-promotional profile across various social networks
- Cross-subsidising work
7. Entrepreneurship

8. Agency

- Individual level: building networks
- Macro level: amassing a keen understanding of the global production networks of the
media industries and the way the markets function
9. Affect
- The fundamental role feelings and emotions play in media immaterial labour
- Affective labour = work that elicits an affective investment from its practitioners
exceeding conscious deliberation and that is intended to elicit a similarly pre-cognitive
response in people.
- Not just acquiring attention, but getting audiences engaged.
- Emotional labour: managing ones emotions is essential (negative emotions are not
tolerated)
- Passion
