Summary/Abstract: Despite its relatively short history, crowdfunding has established itself as an alternative way of financing production of music, movies and computer games. The paper shows how crowdfunding can be analysed from the perspective of media studies. It is argued that crowdfunding can lead to building new types of relationships between creators and audiences. The paper suggests that concepts such as produsage, participatory culture and free labour may be particularly useful in the analyses of crowdfunding.
