摘要：This essay reviews some of the early work on the study of media industries, emphasizing the historic precedents for media industry studies that more recent research sometimes neglects or even forgets. It briefly identifies some classic studies that should provide foundations for current research. While new developments in media industries are continually introduced, the essay argues that new research approaches should at least acknowledge (and perhaps even draw insights from) these historical precedents.
