Indeed, Jack Lule convincingly shows that globalization could not have occurred without media. From earliest times, humans have used media to explore, settle, and globalize their world. In our day, media has made the world progressively "smaller" as nations and cultures come into increasing contact. Decades ago Marshall McLuhan prophesied that media technology would transform the world into a "global village." Slowly, fitfully, his vision is being fulfilled. The global village, however, is not the blissful utopia that McLuhan predicted. Nor, in a more modern formulation, is the world flat, with playing fields leveled and opportunities for all. Instead, Lule argues, globalization and media are combining to create a divided world of gated communities and ghettos, borders and boundaries, suffering and surfeit, beauty and decay, surveillance and violence. By breaking down the economic, cultural, and political impact of media, and through a rich set of case studies from around the globe, the author describes a global village of Babel--invoking the biblical town punished for its vanity by seeing its citizens scattered, its language confounded, and its destiny shaped by strife"--cProvided by publisher. 0aMass media and globalization. 0aCulture and globalization.08iOnline version:aLule, Jack, 1954- author.tGlobalization and mediabThird edition.dLanham : Rowman & Littlefield, [2018]z9781538106280w(DLC) 2018036830  a7bcbccorignewd1eecipf20gy-gencatlg  2ddccBKh302.23iLUL/Gk302.23mLUL/G  00102ddc40708JOURNALISMaMESbMEScJOURNALISMd2023-09-08l0o302.23 LUL/Gp42381r2023-09-08 13:09:06v2565.00w2023-09-08yBKzU3R1  c42158d42158
