It's a Small World of Big Conglomerates

[Diane Monaco]

...the notion that corporate media firms are merely purveyors of US culture 
is ever less plausible as the media system becomes increasingly 
concentrated, commercialized and globalized. The global media system is 
better understood as one that advances corporate and commercial interests 
and values and denigrates or ignores that which cannot be incorporated into 
its mission.
