Media studies; Food manufacturing & related industries

This volume is the first to combine textual analysis of food media texts with interviews with media production staff, reality TV contestants, celebrity chefs, and food producers and retailers across the artisan-conventional spectrum. Intensified media interest in food has seen food politics become a dominant feature of popular media—from television and social media to cookbooks and advertising. This is often thought to be driven by consumers and by new ethics of consumption, but Media and Food Industries reveals how contemporary food politics is also being shaped by political and economic imperatives within the media and food industries. It explores the behind-the-scenes production dynamics of contemporary food media to assess the roles of—and relationships between—media and food industries in shaping new concerns and meanings with respect to food.

Reviews for Media and Food Industries: The New Politics of Food

“Phillipov’s attention to industrial forces, logics and ‘compatibilities’ is a key strength of the book, which should be read by scholars and students interested in how media and food systems understand each other. … The book as a whole is animated by an interest how the politics of food is represented, shaped, and formatted by media industries.” (Luke van Ryn, Agriculture and Human Values, Vol. 36 (3), 2019) “Michelle Phillipov highlights in this clearly structured and impeccably argued book is that media is not just a passive player in these practices. It does not simply facilitate the dissemination and exchange of information, but actively shapes associated discourses and practices. … Phillipov’s volume makes a valuable and entertaining addition to the body of academic literature exploring ethical and alternative food movements, practices, and products from a variety of perspectives, encompassing sociology, cultural studies, geography, environmental studies, sustainability, and others.” (Paula Arcari, Media Industries, Vol. 6 (1), 2019)
