This document discusses transnational media through different forms of participation in the global market, including as consumers, laborers, and through illegal sharing of media. It explores how new media and globalization have led to transnational media that challenges old, monopolistic media models. New networks allow for greater information sharing across borders, but also raise issues around intellectual property, labor rights, and bio-piracy between nations.

The ability of the present-day human to be fully aware of what’s happening in every corner of the globe owes its possibility to the efficient mechanisms operated by the transnational media corporations. For more than a century, these entities have progressively expanded worldwide thus impacting every human life with the aid of the advanced communication systems technologies such as cable, digital, satellite, and the internet that were developed in the twentieth century. It can be well said that these technologies powered up the rise, growth, and extension of transnational media corporations because they enabled them to seamlessly develop high-quality content and distribute it worldwide in real-time. This presentation is aimed at explaining the scope of this phenomenon, the entities behind it, and how such transformations have promoted global communication and at the same time it explores the criticism they face regarding their ownership, content generation and coverage. In this presentation, we also observe that the success of TMC’s lie in the billion-dollar investments, mergers, and acquisitions which have seen them combine resources with their rivals to dominate and influence the global media market – a result which has not been without disapproval from the media critics and scholars. The review questions at the end of the presentation let us ponder over the inquisitive concerns related to what is covered herein.

Globalization (or globalization) describes the process by which regional economies, societies, and cultures have become integrated through a global network of political ideas through communication, transportation, and trade.
The term also refers to the transnational circulation of ideas, languages and popular culture.
Globalization…refers to the growing interconnectedness of different parts of the world, a process which gives rise to complex forms of interaction and interdependency
In this slideshare, Anabelle Chaumun (GlobalizNow.com) gives an overview on how the topic 'globalization' appears in the western media. At Globaliz, we think that we come to an age where globalization is not only exchanges of material and financial goods, but also wealth through national and international communities abroad.
Global journalism encompasses 3 different perspectives on the practice of journalism: (1) the globalized approach to reporting elaborated by scholar Peter Berglez; (2) studies of how journalists differ in different countries; and (3) the practice of "foreign correspondence" or international reporting. This presentation by professor Mindy McAdams explains the distinctions among the 3 approaches. This presentation was given to journalists, students and others in Pontianak, West Kalimantan, and Jakarta, West Java, in July 2012, and includes some examples specific to Indonesia.

A brief discussion about globalization through media imperialism.
Researchers focused their effort on mostly nation-states as primary actors in international relations. The flow of news and entertainment was biased in favor of industrialized countries. Developing nations received scant and prejudicial coverage in Western Media. Emphasis on commercialization of sphere of culture. On the second stage of research in Cultural imperialism, it focused on transnational corporations as the primary actors on international relations ; and on transnational capital flows
The end of cold war as a global framework for ideological, Geopolitical, and Economic competition calls for a rethinking of the analytical categories and paradigms of thought. The nation state is no longer the sale or dominant player since transnational transactions occur on sub national, national, and supranational levels. According to John Tomlinson (1991) Globalization replaced cultural imperialism because it conveys a process with less coherence and direction, which will weaken the cultural unity of all nation -states ,Not only those in the developing world. Globalization has emerged as a key perspective across the humanities and social sciences, a current undoubtedly affecting the discipline of communication.
Globalization of culture has become a conceptual magnet attracting research and theorizing efforts from a variety of disciplines and interdisciplinary formations such as anthropology, comparative literature, cultural studies, communication and media studies, geography, and sociology.

2. this presentation looks at transnational media through different forms of participation consumer laborer pirate, terrorist, refugee, ‘slum dweller’ commons + market = commodity new media + globalization = transnational media what is transnational media?
3. new media, post-colonialism, transnational media According to Peter Manuel, “new media challenges the one-way, monopolistic, homogenising tendencies of old media, as [new media] tends to be decentered in ownership, control and consumption patterns and hence offer greater potential for consumer input and interaction” (qtd. in Liang 8) bodies (labor) technology (product) market (value)profit ($) new media and transnationalism
4. new networks of information sharing (global circuits; issues of legality) global capital/consumerism transnational labor (colonial/postcolonial; “First” and “Third” world labor exchange) the rhetoric of citizenship, nationalism, terrorism new understandings of space/boundaries, of the market globalization and new media: the collapse of borders
7. When does biomedia become bio-piracy? bio-piracy: “Western corporations are stealing centuries of collective knowledge and innovation carried out by indigenous and local communities world wide” (Sovereign Subjects, ed. Moreton-Robinson 2007) - turmeric, Bolivian quinoa, chickpeas - The Human Genome Project Unbalanced labor-rights exchange between “First” and “Third” world nations (Aneesh) biopolitics: boderless bodies, virtual migration
8. Who is actually protected by intellectual property/copyright laws? Should we look at the emergence of “grey markets” as a (inevitable) result of globalization? A reconfiguration of IP and labor rights within a global market? intellectual property: rights and access
