Backup Profile Page

At the moment I am in the process of updating and reworking my faculty profile page, especially with the purpose to provide easier (and free) access to all my publications and to provide students with some guidance and links to places online where they can find information about jobs and internships in the US media. I will use this entry as a backup, so bear with me...

Publications

Publications of my work include a number of books, and articles in journals such as New Media & Society, Journalism Studies, the International Journal of Cultural Studies, The Information Society, and Media Culture & Society. For an overview of these publications, see the listing via Google Scholar. Several articles have appeared in (or are under review at) open access journals such as eJournalist, First Monday, and the Journal of Media Sociology.

Save most of my books, all my publications can be downloaded directly and for free from Indiana University’s open access digital repository IUScholarWorks. There you can also find published works by many other IU researchers in the field of (new) media.

For instant access to all my publications, please follow [LINK TO COME SOON]. Of course, I always sincerely appreciate any thoughts or feedback you may have.

Below is a list of my books with direct links to the publisher pages, BOL or Amazon, whichever place lists the lowest price. If you are looking for a specific chapter from any of these works (for example to including in a reader or class materials), please contact me via e-mail, I would be happy to provide you with a PDF copy.

Teaching

At the Department of Telecommunications I generally teach the University Division-course Media Life (T101; open to all IU students), Global Media Issues (T413), and Creative Industries (T451) in some form or another. On a graduate level, you can expect me to be teaching courses related to the history, organization and culture of media work (T505 Media Organizations). Especially in the 400-level courses, the issues as mentioned above will be the most important topics on the class agenda. In T451, part of the classtime is spent on a community service learning project in collaboration with Rhino's Youth Center and All-Ages Music Club in Bloomington, Indiana.

Media Work: Students

As my classes and studies are primarily focused on the working lives of media professionals and thus on media work in general, I consistently try to give students at Indiana and Leiden (and elsewhere) grounded and realistic advice on what it is like to work and to get (or keep) work in the creative industries in general, and the media in particular.

It is perfectly possible to build a course list that will prepare for a career in the media. The best advice I can give you is not to pick courses because you think they will help you landing a job, but to pick courses about topics, issues, skills and competences that you -individually, personally- are deeply passionate about. As the media industry is a precarious, unpredictable, fast-changing and generally crazy place, the thing that will always keep you going is your own passion. Anything else will perhaps land you a job, but will not empower you to be creative, to do what you want to do, to be among those an organization cannot afford to let go when the next round of cost-cutting lay-offs comes around.

Please check out my Facebook profile page and my weblog (Deuzeblog) for regular postings and links to news related to work and jobs in the media industry. I encourage students to contact me for information and feedback on internship and job opportunities, and especially appreciate it if young professionals and/or alumni keep in touch to tell their story on working in the media. For those who are looking for resources for finding jobs and internships in the media, please check the following websites listed below. Of course, take good care before contacting the addresses and people found here. Do not consider these links and organizations as my personal recommendations; these are just some often-mentioned websites in the US media industry for job- and internship seekers.
