Week 5 E-learning week: Summary on The Effects of Media Globalisation

Summary on The Effects of Media Globalisation

New communications technology causes media globalization which is unstoppable and related to every form of globalization. People felt that benefits of media globalization should be enjoyed and not be afraid of. It is now easier to communicate internationally and get updates from anyone around the world. It can also improve on the medical areas in the less developed countries. Media has brought about other benefits such as fostering closer bonds between people of different background and culture all over the world as information are easily found on the internet.  Nevertheless media also faces some disadvantages such as freedom of speech being threatened and power being concentrated by certain companies.  This could threaten democracy in the country. Yet the consequence of media globalization is often overlooked. Only the wealthiest countries are able to influence their culture globally. On top of that, only the government has the authority to regulate the media. The media has also influence in the competitiveness in the market. As media gains its profit through advertising, it will eventually become more biased.  Be it now or in the future, media globalization will still cause an influence on people’s decisions and views.
