Media
globalization is inevitable, which is due to the advancement in communications
technology. It is also the foundation for globalization in general. Communicating
globally is much easier, benefiting us in many ways. Although we can access
plenty of information via the internet, it does not imply that we are better
informed. Instead of bringing people with different cultures together, media
globalization may worsen relations with other countries. The decrease in governmental
regulations for media leads to the merging of different corporations, resulting
in oligopoly. The opinions of the people and the local media are threatened.
The richest minority of the richest countries control what appears in the
media. The main objective of those multinational media corporations is to
maximize the profit not the truth by increasing advertisements and decreasing
the quality of the contents. Since advertising agencies sponsor the media
heavily, they have a large influence over the content as well. Differing from
other consumer goods, media should be regulated in a different way. Media globalization
is an imperialistic effort on the part of media mergers.
Hello Yawen
ReplyDelete'oligopoly' is a singular countable noun but apart from that, your summary has been written with a high degree of accuracy. The only issue is the number of sentences, of which there are 11. You need to link them by merging and using conjunctions for better coherence and cohesion. Also, avoid using 'we'. Feel free to make the changes and resubmit.
