Research Interests

Raymond Boyle is the Director of the Centre for Cultural Policy Research.  He graduated in Media Studies and History from the University of Ulster and completed an MA by research in the School of Communications at Dublin City University. He worked for three years in the Communication Studies Department at Glasgow Caledonian University before joining Stirling University. He moved to CCPR in January 2007.

Recent research projects have included a study of the UK television industry, the UK Film Council; media rights and sport: the media and the Commonwealth Games 2014 and a study of sports journalism and social media usage. His new book looking at talent agents and the UK television industry, The Talent Industry: Television, Cultural Intermediaries and New Digital Pathways, was published by Palgrave in September 2018. He sits on the Editorial Board of Media, Culture and Society and since January 2018 has been Co-Managing Editor of the Journal.

His profile across academic, funded research and consultancy includes work within the broad areas of cultural and media policy. He has developed an international reputation for media and sport research, which has included work on various aspects related to media policy (such as the relationship between new media and sports content) as well as the relationship between sport and its wider cultural and economic impact on society.
He has acted as an academic advisor to the Department of Business Innovation and Skills (BIS) on media and entrepreneurship issues and with the Department of Children, Schools and Families/DCMS. He has been involved in various research and consultancy projects around media issues. He is currently working with the European governing body of football, UEFA and the University of Lausanne in the delivery of their Certificate in Football Management (CFM).
