Professor Janet Wasko is the Knight Chair in Communication Research at the School of Journalism and Communication in the University of Oregon. She is also the president of the International Association for Media and Communication Research (IAMCR). Prof. Wasko has been greatly involved in forming the tradition and the scholarly community of the political economy of communication, particularly working in the realms of the American film industry and Disney corporation studies. Prof. Wasko worked with Thomas Guback-one of the pioneers of doing political economy studies on the film-at the University of Illinois and received her doctoral degree after submitting the dissertation Relationships Between the American Motion Picture Industry and Banking Institutions, which was published as the monograph Movies and Money: Financing the American Film Industry (1982) later. After that, Prof. Wasko continued researching the film industry and published a number of influential books, including How Hollywood Works (2003), Understanding Disney: The Manufacture of Fantasy (2001), Hollywood in the Information Age: Beyond the Silver Screen (1994), etc. With several distinguished political economists of communication research, she also coauthored, edited and co-edited many collections, for example, The Handbook of Political Economy of Communications (2011), Media in the Age of Marketization (2007), Consuming Audiences? Production and Reception in Media Research (2000), The Political Economy of Information (1988), and so on.
