Abstract

This research consists of a qualitative meta-study to map the current state of studies involving strategic decisions in media businesses. The analyzes were based on the International Journal on Media Management publications. The meta-study included a sample of 25 articles (out of 61 articles between 2013 and 2017). The analysis dimensions were: relationship with strategic management; goals; and type of company. As results, we highlight the predominance (72%) of studies involving decisions about business models and forms of financing. The studies portray different actors in this industry, such as traditional vehicles, media aggregators, newspapers, video platforms and news. As a contribution, this research advances in the literature on media management through the systematization of recent academic inquiries about strategic decisions, presenting categories of analysis for researchers and practitioners in journalism, communication and administration.
