Therefore what Cultural Studies practitioners should do in order to become organic intellectuals is be more proactive and contribute to cultural agencies and create a more pragmatic approach, and to work with cultural producers. In working with cultural producers we aid in policy creation. The expertise that one gains from teaching or understanding the discipline, recognizing the politics of the signifier, the ideologies, as an academic intellectual could be used to steer policy in what could be a better direction.

Therefore Barker remarks that cultural policy is important because those who have the power to produce and control the production and eventually the distribution of the cultural products have immense power. As we saw in our lecture on power, it creates official and legitimate versions. And these in some way or the other legitimize the forms of culture as being as worthy of being emulated. That is why Barker says that cultural policy is important because it links cultural products to the people in general.
