Media, print and publishing - Nottinghamshire info
Over 6,000 people work in media, print and publishing in Nottinghamshire with printing being the largest employment area (1). Very few people work in film even though several feature films have been shot in Nottinghamshire and the number of people working in television is declining in the county. Nottingham, however, has the largest number of radio stations in the East Midlands.
Publishing, photo imaging and interactive media are the largest creative media industries in the East Midlands (2). In Nottingham we have some significant computer games developers as well as some interactive companies which are expanding. Nottingham is also host to GameCity, a videogame festival which takes place every year.
A higher percentage of people in the East Midlands are employed in interactive media (which includes games) compared to the rest of the UK. However, most of the jobs in this sector are based in London and the South East so you may have to move to pursue your dream!
