Entertainment Industries is the first book to map entertainment as a cultural system. Including work from world-renowned analysts such as Henry Jenkins and Jonathan Gray, this innovative collection explains what entertainment is and how it works. Entertainment is audience-centred culture.

The producers of entertainment – central to that practice- are the new artists. They understand audiences and combine creative, business and legal skills in order to produce cultural products that cater to them.Entertainment Industries describes the characteristics of entertainment, the systems that produce it, and the role of producers and audiences in its development, as well as explaining the importance of this area of study, and how it might be better integrated into Universities.This book was originally published as a special issue of Continuum: Journal of Media & Cultural Studies.
