"A student-friendly book that assesses how such trends as marketization, conglomeration, digital convergence, personalization and competition, are transforming the global media landscape"-- An Introduction to Global Media for the Twenty-First Century provides a thorough introduction to the field of global media today. The book presents the key changes taking place as the global media landscape evolves, and the main theories of the field, that explain these developments.Tracing, first, the formative development of an international and global media landscape throughout the 20th century from the telegraph, television and film export, and transnational television to the Internet, the book then focuses on developments in the 21st century. This includes: the digitization of the global media and communications sector; the popularization of the Internet and digital infrastructure such as the smartphone and platforms; the emergence of global online media and services; the production and distribution of digital media content; and the exploitation of user data. Case studies illustrate key developments throughout the book.The book shows how the field is characterized by a continuity of critical concerns in relation to power, influence, and domination; media user empowerment and exploitation; and social and sustainable development and democratic conditions, as well as geopolitical shifts, in a global context.

Some advocates and more than a few critics have misconstrued the political economy of media as a unified field of inquiry. The authors from this volume, by contrast, draw from a more diverse stream of the schools of thought signified by this tradition: Neoclassical Economics, Radical Media Political Economy, Schumpeterian Institutional Political Economy, and the Cultural Industries School. The book as a whole is as alert to developments in our main objects of analysis - media institutions, technologies, markets, uses and society - as it is to changes in the world around us, including current trends in communication and media studies. The contributors show that digital media are disrupting entire media industries, but without erasing the past. Throughout, the impact of the unprecedented wave of media consolidation in the late-1990s and the financial crisis of the past few years loom large. The authors also suggest that there is no 'supra logic' of 'total system integration' that spans the network media, while insisting that one media sector is not the same as the next. Social networking activities often beg, pilfer and borrow 'content' from 'traditional media', but it remains the case that Time Warner, Comcast, the BBC and News Corp. are very different creatures than Apple, Baidu, Facebook or Google. In other words, even in the age of convergence and remix culture, different media continue to display their own distinctive political economies, as the volume's title - The Political Economies of Media - signals.

Parler des médias sous l’angle des identités culturelles dans un contexte mondialisé, c’est démontrer qu’au delà de transmettre des informations de toute nature (informations nouvelles, informations connaissances, loisirs et publicités), les médias sont aussi des véhicules de culture.Dans cet environnement globalisé, les contenus publics produits et diffusés par les entreprises de médias n’assurent-ils pas une tendance à l’uniformisation des cultures vers les cultures économiques les plus puissantes ? Ce travail a consisté à observer et à analyser cette relation interdépendante existant entre les cultures, les médias et la mondialisation, dans des cas de pays choisis en Afrique subsaharienne, afin d’appréhender comment les médias et la globalisation peuvent être des agents de la mondialisation des cultures, et si des éléments de résistance et de défense des identités culturelles se manifestent.La démarche de l’auteur s’inscrit dans le vif intérêt qu’elle porte à la question de la diversité culturelle dans un monde s’uniformisant. Sommes-nous entrain d’ériger une tour de Babel par le biais d’un prégnant impérialisme culturel occidental changé, accéléré et omniprésent avec les technologies de l’information et de la communication ?
