Insights into industry is a video interview project that focuses on current trends and future predictions for the Media and Communications industry. The project presents interviews with academics who provide industry insights based on research currently being conducted within QUT’s esteemed Digital Media Research Centre (DMRC).
This project was produced by QUT Media and Communications students for a subject called: Brisbane Media Map (BMM). The topics for the questions were drawn from content provided by the BMM Content Creation team and applied by the ‘Insights into Industry’ team to present comprehensive, focused and cohesive content within the website.
