Media on the Move : Global Flow and Contra-Flow

Examining existing major corporations such as Disney, AOL, Time Warner and News Corporation, and new networks emerging including Al Jazeera, Indian Films and Brazilian TV in China, Media on the Move provides a critical analysis of the dynamics of the international flow of images and ideas. Bringing together internationally known theorists and regional specialists the authors examine the alternative media flows against the US-led global flows and combine a theoretical perspective on contra-flow of media with grounded case studies into one up-to-date and accessible volume. With four thematically linked sections, and contributors including Roger Silverstone, Lisa McLaughlin, Myria Georgiou and Andandam P. Kavoori, this is a much-needed guide to the globalization of media, going beyond the standard Anglo-American view of this evolving phenomenon.
