商品簡介
Ten international academics, researchers, and consultants contribute seven chapters providing students, scholars and practitioners with an up-to-date, multifaceted perspective about the trends and media practices in various parts of the world, including Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, the Middle East, Latin America, and North America. The authors identify existing and developing issues and problems in international media communication and their potential impact on democratic communication; assess current tensions between ongoing practices and local and regional cultural norms; identify and assess how various theoretical approaches--globalization, hybridity, hegemony, cultural imperialism, and world systems theory--provide useful frames for assessing current global media practices; and consider possible alternative scenarios for global communication based on various local, regional, and national cultural norms and practices.
