Abstract

In the dynamic landscape of media and communication, the traditional models of education are evolving to meet the demands of an ever-changing industry. This chapter explores the imperative of cultivating an entrepreneurial mindset in media education, providing a comprehensive framework designed to equip students with the skills and mindset needed to navigate the complexities of the future media landscape. The chapter examines the rapidly evolving nature of the media industry, driven by technological advancements and shifting consumer behaviours. In this context, the traditional roles within media are being redefined, and new opportunities are emerging for those who can adapt and innovate. Recognizing the need for a paradigm shift in media education, the chapter advocates for the integration of entrepreneurial principles into the curriculum to prepare students for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. Drawing inspiration from successful entrepreneurship models, the framework proposed in this chapter emphasizes the development of key entrepreneurial competencies.
