From the silver screen to pay-per-view TV, the media are a significant force in society; and never more so than now, in the era of globalization.

We need to question how global media reflects society
While examining the dominant media Peter Steven emphasizes the diversity of local media, showing us not just the corporate media moguls but slum-dwelling fans of Brazilian soap-style telenovelas and activists arguing for media democracy. He encourages us to question how the media reflects society: are we passive recipients, or do we have a part in constructing the world? Diagrams, charts and graphs used throughout to illustrate key information.Peter Steven is a freelance writer based in Toronto, Canada. He has been film columnist for the New Internationalist and The Beaver magazines, and Associate Editor of Jump Cut magazine.
