Transnational management issues are increasingly important in the media industry. This project examined research on the management strategies that media corporations employ as they move into overseas markets and the management issues that they face once they get there. The study concludes that research on transnational media management has been sparse and fragmented. It identifies questions that should be addressed in the future, if scholars are to better understand the behavior of global media corporations.

A period of major transformation is forcing news organizations to adapt and change. This study provides a longitudinal analysis of the effects of organizational changes and change-management efforts at CNN Headline News on newsroom employees' attitudes, morale, and likelihood of quitting their jobs. The study found that for newsroom managers, organizational change was a losing proposition, resulting in staff members' perception of greater unhappiness with their jobs. Newsroom employees were most negative about changes they thought hindered their ability to produce high-quality journalism, and change-management efforts had only limited impact on job satisfaction and commitment.
