The Media and Globalization

Author: Terhi Rantanen

There is practically no globalization without media and communications, but how do we each fit into this new globalized media environment? How can we study mediated globalization across time and space?

In this book, Terhi Rantanen provides an accessible and thought-provoking introduction to media globalization which offers:

· an introduction to the concepts and theories of globalization
· a wealth of empirical materials on the production and consumption of media
· a new methodology-mediagraphy- for researching the media which relates individual, local experience to the global picture

Using personal and engaging details from the lives of three families, across four generations, living in different countries, Rantanen shows us how to understand the relationship between media and globalization and the various processes at work.

This is an invaluable text for students of media, communications, and cultural studies.
