What is Global Media and Culture

At its core, Global media and culture is about the media we produce and consume. The media production of today is interactive and audience driven, and we are all able to be producers of media, content and culture. Fandoms, fan culture and fan studies are no longer niche aspects of media and society, they represent a significant segment of the media and cultural world of today.

To say media is global and culture transcends borders and boundaries is an understatement. We live in a globalized world, with access to media instant and constant, and exposure to different cultures and ways of life a daily occurrence. By understanding more about global media and culture flows, we can become active participants and leaders – rather than passive observers – in the rapidly changing world of today.
