Rowman & Littlefield Publishers Media Imperialism: Continuity and Change

Product Description This book brings together researchers in international communication and global media studies to revisit and advance the concept of media imperialism for 21st century research. Using cases across the globe, this volume is essential for understanding communications media in unequal economic, geopolitical and cultural-ideological power relations. Review Here readers can encounter the variety and vigor of media/cultural imperialism approaches to the ever-evolving global mediascape. In a single reference work, seasoned researchers from across the planet sharply challenge enduring myopias of much conventional media research. A vital contribution to debate and analysis.--John D.H.
