Welcome to my web page. I am Emeritus Professor at Toronto Metropolitan University and Adjunct Professor in RTA School of Media in The Creative School.

My research interests have to do with innovation management and policy in the creative and IT industries. I am currently working on research projects on news audiences, media literacy, public service media, and the creator economy. Research publications are available here. I have an interest in Q methodology and I maintain an online bibliography of research papers on Q methodology in audience research.

My graduate and undergraduate courses on media management, audiences, new product development, political economy of media industries, media innovation, and media entrepreneurship have been delivered in TMU's MA in Media Production program, in the TMU/York MA/PhD program in Communication and Culture, and in TMU's MBA/MSc in Management of Technology and Innovation program. A list of courses I have taught is here.

I previously held the ES Rogers Sr Research Chair in Media Management and Entrepreneurship, and I previously served as Associate Dean for Scholarly, Research, and Creative Activities in The Creative School.
