The document discusses the influence of mass media on public discourse and the public sphere. It notes that mass media limits citizen feedback and is influenced by economic factors. Throughout the 20th century, mass media like newspapers, radio, and television came to dominate the public sphere. However, critics argue that mass media exposure is limited and aimed at large audiences for advertising purposes. The power of media over society remains a concern for authoritarian regimes seeking to control public opinion.

Global media
This document discusses different concepts of global media including the Western concept exemplified by Britain which balances libertarianism and social responsibility. It also covers the development concept where governments partner with media, the revolutionary concept aimed at ending government monopoly over information, and authoritarianism/communism exemplified by China's control over media. The document also notes that most programming worldwide resembles American media due to the US's influence and addresses debates around cultural imperialism and calls for quotas on foreign media content.
Global media cultures
Global media corporations like Disney, Time Warner, News Corporation, and Viacom own the majority of global media and promote globalization through their mainstream news channels like CNN, Fox News and BBC in English. While globalization faces criticism, the influence of major media corporations is still limited in some third world countries due to a digital divide, as seen through a lack of internet access, expensive technology, and poverty.

This document discusses pluralism theory and its perspectives on media ownership and content. Pluralism argues that power is dispersed in democratic societies, with diverse groups represented. The media should reflect this diversity and public demand to stay profitable. However, critics argue that media concentration and commercial pressures can undermine diversity and democracy by prioritizing profits over impartiality and local/minority voices. The influence of owners on content is also debated.
Linus Lee: Napster And Inequality
Napster allowed users to share MP3 files without permission or payment in the late 1990s. It had around 70 million users worldwide and disrupted the music industry's business model by giving consumers access to music without paying fees. This violated copyright laws and led to legal battles with music companies. While Napster argued it increased overall consumer well-being, critics said it amounted to theft and hurt music producers' control over distribution. The typical Napster user was younger, between their early 20s, primarily college students and adolescent males.
Mass media and globalisation byLea
Mass media and globalization. The document discusses how mass media conveys information, entertainment, political power, and culture while being influenced by economic and other factors. It also addresses the advantages and disadvantages of globalized media, how media consumption has changed from 2015 to today, and some of the risks of mass media consolidation like elimination of critics and loss of diversity.
Karen Kasold: Media Globalization And Inequality
The document discusses several topics related to media globalization and inequality, including how mass media can damage public discourse, the rise of perception management techniques, debates around new international information orders, threats to a global public sphere, and issues of market-driven media and ensuring access to communication for all. It examines the power of elites over media institutions and outlines principles in the People's Communication Charter to transform global communications and protect rights.
Chapter 13 Media Economics and the Global Marketplace
The document discusses several issues related to media economics and consolidation in the global marketplace. It describes how control of media is shifting from traditional companies like Time Warner and Comcast to new digital giants like Apple, Google, Facebook and Netflix. It also analyzes the increasing concentration of economic power in the hands of a few large corporations and the impact this has on restricting diversity of voices and viewpoints in the media.
Globa Media Cultures
Global media allows information to be shared worldwide through channels like regionalization and glocal production. Regionalization links countries by commonalities while glocal production adapts global concepts locally. Cultural proximity, the preference for media in one's own language and culture, still constrains globalization. Major global media players include news wire services, radio, music, film, television, and the internet, though wealthier countries import less and export more globally. While global media bridges divides, it can also spread inappropriate content or ideas and alter cultures, so media literacy is important.

It then defines globalization as the integration of economies, societies and cultures through communication, transportation and trade. The media plays a key role in globalization by spreading ideas across borders, though this can lead to both homogenization and diversification of cultures. A small number of large media companies dominate distribution of information worldwide. The media influences public opinion and can shape perceptions on important issues and events. Exposure to violence in media can also impact children's development.

Mass media
This document discusses the role of mass media in politics. It describes how media events are often staged for media coverage. It outlines the development of different media like print, broadcast television and radio, and how they have shaped politics. Reporters rely on sources for stories and trial balloons to gauge reactions. News coverage favors soundbites and tends to be superficial. The media influence public opinion on what issues are important and how leaders are evaluated. The media can also restrict what policies government pursues through criticism and by pressuring officials to address problems.
Media Imperialism Reformulated
Two models of media imperialism are discussed - cultural imperialism and dependency theory. Cultural imperialism asserts that Western media dominates non-Western cultures and imposes Western views, threatening local cultures. Dependency theory argues that the development of rich nations was achieved through exploiting poorer ones, creating economic and cultural dependencies. While media imperialism exists, some regions like India have numerous local and international TV channels to choose from. However, increased quantity does not ensure independence as production costs fall, benefiting large Western media corporations.
the role of mass media in the life of society
The document discusses how information and mass media have become increasingly important in modern life, with sources like television, newspapers, magazines, websites, and mobile phones now ubiquitous. It notes that most people get their information from these seven main types of mass media. The widespread availability of information through mass media can impact society both positively by spreading news and entertainment, but also negatively by causing unrest or panic if the information is misleading.
Media psychology
Media psychology is a branch of psychology that focuses on the interaction between human behavior and media/technology.

Globalisation in Media
Globalization is the increasing integration of countries through advances in technology and transportation that allow for faster movement of people, goods, money, data and ideas worldwide. This document discusses how globalization has impacted media distribution and filmmaking. Films can now easily reach global audiences online, and some are tailored for specific international markets by including foreign language audio tracks or representations of other cultures. While globalization allows for sharing of cultures and knowledge, it can also facilitate the rapid spread of viruses and homogenize media markets dominated by large companies. Overall, the document suggests that globalization may continue integrating the world into a single community where goods from all countries are widely available locally.

Ms media influence project
Mass media has a significant influence on modern culture through the messages and images it conveys. Traditional forms of communication and entertainment in India, like folk theatre and music, have been largely replaced by mass media like television, films, and the internet. While mass media can positively influence society by spreading information, it also shapes public opinion and sways consumers through thousands of advertisements seen each year. The ownership of mass media is highly concentrated among a few large corporations, which have the power to influence beliefs and decisions on a wide scale.
The Problem of the Media
Whatever the complaint about media, one thing is certain: There are underlying structural issues at work that give rise to these problems. Attacking a single symptom — such as programming some might say is indecent — does not cure the disease.
Contemporary Media Regulation
Media regulation controls mass communication across various mediums like press, radio, television and the internet. Public media, which is government-owned, faces tighter regulation and obligations, while private media has fewer restrictions but is expected to follow professional standards of accurate and balanced reporting. Historically, media regulation began with the printing press to avoid heresy, with approval required before publishing. Through the 18th-19th centuries, freedom of publishing increased but new technologies saw tighter regulation. The 20th century regulated broadcasting more strictly than print, though deregulation has occurred since the 1980s with new distribution methods. Media is regulated for reasons like controlling the information economy, protecting public order and individual rights, and promoting access and diversity.

Mass media refers to channels of communication that distribute messages to large audiences through technology. In the Caribbean, mass media includes electronic forms like radio, TV, and the internet as well as print forms like newspapers, magazines, and books. Mass media houses in the Caribbean, like the Caribbean Broadcasting Union, Caribbean News Agency, and Caribvision, work to share news and information across the region to promote integration. Mass media serves important roles like informing and educating audiences, and influencing culture, economic development, politics, and social roles in Caribbean societies.
Media Conglomerates
Mass media is dominated by a small number of large conglomerates. Through mergers and acquisitions over many years, around six major companies now control around 90% of media in developed countries. This high level of consolidation raises concerns about these companies' outsized economic and political influence over what information is reported and how. While globalization has increased access to information, many nations still struggle with censorship and threats to journalists, and mainstream media ownership concentration risks lack of objective reporting and control by corporate and political elites to advance their own interests over informing the public.

A2 media revision
- 'We media' refers to user-generated content and participatory media enabled by technologies like blogs, social media, and wikis. This emergence has both increased and decreased democracy in some ways.

- The future may see both increased individual expression but also new forms of surveillance and control if democratic values are not upheld online as they are offline.
