MMTC research Seminar presented by guest Cindy Price Shultz

Cindy is presenting the research titled as "Moving Journalism in a New Direction? Business Models of Digital News Organizations in Kazakhstan".

Journalists everywhere are concerned about how to keep their news organizations operating during these rapidly changing times. Some of those journalists are their own managers, as they created digital businesses to fill niches they saw in the information vacuum. Research has focused on digital business models in North America and Europe, but none has centered on Central Asia. Because these countries were part of the former Soviet Union, they had business models that relied on government support of journalism. However, those outlets would not be considered “free press.” Since Kazakhstan gained independence more than 30 years ago, some media managers have moved away from the government-supported model to produce independent news. The current research study interviewed 12 of those journalists to see what they are doing to adjust to the digital news space and have successful journalism businesses. The research question was, How do culture and location influence how digital news organizations strategically respond to changes in the journalism industry in Kazakhstan? In sum, Kazakhstan is a growing area related to digital news organizations, but very little research has been done in Central Asia. Therefore, this study is a good start in examining Central Asian journalism entrepreneurship and how they have used cultural knowledge to adapt to changing times.

The seminar will run in a hybrid format, you can join in room B6046 or on Zoom
