"GLOBALIZATION OF MEDIA"
Text of handout for students
Note: There is perhaps no better way for students to appreciate the nature of modern media and the nature
of contemporary globalization than to carefully read the text of this handout.
The content comprises the first 2 chapters of the book titled: "Understanding Media" by Marshal McLuhan
who, in the opinion of this lecturer, was the first philosopher of electronic media. He was a professor of
English literature in Canada and at the same time had profound and brilliant insights into the core truths of
new media and of instant global communication.
While formulating pioneering concepts such as: "the global village" and "the medium is the message",
McLuhan set the scene for study and reflection upon the subject of the lectures from No.39 to No.45 in such
a superbly insightful way that the observations contained in the 2 chapters establish the foundation for
students to develop their own exploration of this fascinating realm.
