This
book is the first to offer a global perspective on the unique
contemporary media phenomenon of transnational television channels. It
is also the first to compare their impact in different regions of the
globe. Revealing great richness and diversity across seven key
broadcasting regions, North America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle
East, Africa, South and East Asia, the book examines the place of these
channels in the process of globalization, their impact on the
nation-state, and many more elements central to the study of
international media and communications.
