Study Notes
Media and Globalization
- Globalization involves the spread of various cultures and ideas, relying on media as its main conduit.
- Media is a means of conveying information, a channel of communication, and can be categorized into print, broadcast, and digital media.
Types of Media
- Print media: one of the oldest and basic forms of communication.
- Broadcast media: distribution of audio or video content to a dispersed audience via electronic mass communications medium.
- Digital media: encoded in machine-readable formats, created, viewed, distributed, modified, and preserved on digital electronics devices.
Media Globalization
- Worldwide integration of media through the cross-cultural exchange of ideas.
- Technological globalization refers to the cross-cultural development and exchange of technology.
- Media, as a form of technology, reshapes societies, and the television is not a simple bearer of messages, but also shapes the behavior of users and reorient family behavior.
Critique of Cultural Imperialism
- Media scholars argued that global media had a tendency to homogenize culture, promoting "American" capitalist values like consumerism.
- Cultural globalization is a euphemism for "Western cultural imperialism" since it promotes "homogenized, Westernized, consumer culture".
- Media messages are not just made by media producers, but are also consumed by audiences who are active in the "meaning-making process", and may interpret the media messages in several ways depending on their perspectives.
Social Media and Cyber Ghettoes
- The internet, particularly social media, challenges previous ideas about media and globalization, democratizing access, and making information dissemination easier and faster.
- Abuses, such as online "trolling", disinformation, and other means to spread propaganda have become rampant, and media users must remain vigilant and learn how to distinguish fact from falsehood.
