Globalization describes an ongoing process by which regional economies, societies, and cultures have become integrated through a globe-spanning network of communication and trade. The term is sometimes used to refer specifically to economic globalization: the integration of national economies into the international economy through trade, foreign direct investment, capital flows, migration and the spread of technology.
Media have become a central force in our global society, affecting every aspect of life and culture. Media is a critical tool in functioning in contemporary society. Media culture and society understand the new centrality of media and cultural forms to the experience of social life in the contemporary world. (jacket)
