  • Author Information

Global Communication is the most definitive text on multi-national communication and media conglomerates, exploring how global media, particularly CNN, the BBC, AP, Reuters, Asia, Euronews, and Al Jazeera, influence audiences and policy makers alike. In outlining the major trends influencing global communication and media, including the internet and mobile media, the book examines a number of structural issues through world system theory and electronic colonialism theory.

The fourth edition of this major text has been systematically updated to reflect both global current events and the many fast moving areas associated with this dynamic field. Special attention is given to the continuing development of Arab media, with new analysis of the Arab Spring uprisings and the expansion of Al Jazeera's channels and influence, as well as fresh coverage of Latin American Media, the Spanish TV surge, and the phone hacking scandal by News Corporation’s employees in the UK. This new edition also sees an update of McPhail’s Electronic Colonialism Theory, in light of changes in the geopolitical order and a loss of international coverage in the US media. As well as detailing important sectors such as UNESCO, ITU, the Internet, MTV, and the importance of global advertising, the book covers the expanding area of global communication and describes major multimedia conglomerates particularly in the USA.
