 This post is a special collection of materials on entertainment sectors. All links are to materials available in this integrated Lightbulb blog and Dilanchian website.
Entertainment extends beyond content, eg video, audio, text, graphics and games. In this collection we include within the "entertainment industry" such activities as sport, management of events and venues such as museums; and the consumption of certain types of food, beverage, fashion, footwear and fragrances. One justification for this approach is that the laws, legal documents, talent pool, consumption habits, and sources of revenue in these non-content sectors are comparable to those for the content sectors. Hence all are grouped below under the heading "Sectors".
Entertainment has greater significance than ever before in the Australian economy. Many new patterns have emerged with this growth. Old borders between content have worn away. Neat boundaries no longer exist between what is in the "entertainment industry" and what is not included.
