Abstract

This chapter on the economics of cross-border journalism identifies key characteristics of a digital media economy and discusses how these affect the opportunities and constraints for cross-border journalism. The economic potential and constraints of cross-border journalism are explored based on the characteristics of the journalistic product, especially its degree of cultural specificity. The characteristics of various product levels moderate how and in what form journalism might be turned into a tradable good. Departing from this, markets for cross-border journalism are sketched. Concluding, this chapter discusses the consequences of economics in research and praxis of cross-border journalism.
