Careers in Media Psychology
How Did You Get That Job?
Media psychology focuses on the psychology behind media and technology use and impact. It is central to understanding behavior within many disciplines, including, in part, technology; public policy and government; telecommunications; software; education; health care; and entertainment.
Some media psychologists are researchers at universities, or in government and private research facilities. Others you’ll find working in the private sector as marketers, TV and film consultants, writers and user experience experts. With the increasing role of media in our lives, there’s an ever-growing list of opportunities for people with media psychology training.
In this How Did You Get This Job? on-demand series, you’ll hear from five people working in media psychology.
