>  ?For far too long, media studies has been 
> dominated by people who could only research and 
> write in English. The result has been 
> effortless extrapolations from very specific 
> realities (the US and the UK) to explain the 
> entire, rich (and poor) world of the media. 
> That is no longer sustainable, as Daya Thussu 
> and his contributors show us in this dynamic 
> and profound book. A way forward for all.? - 
> Toby Miller, Professor of Media and Cultural 
> Studies, University of California, Riverside, USA

> ?Globalization poses dramatic new challenges for 
> media studies, challenges that most scholars 
> have failed to take up. This impressive 
> collection of essays ranges across disciplines, 
> methodologies, and geographical contexts to 
> suggest important new directions for research 
> and pedagogy in the field of media studies.? ?

> The explosion of transnational information 
> flows, made possible by new technologies and 
> institutional changes (economic, political and 
> legal) have profoundly affected the study of 
> global media. At the same time, the 
> globalization of media combined with the 
> globalization of higher education means that the 
> research and teaching of the subject faces 
> immediate and profound challenges, not only as 
> the subject of enquiry but also as the means by 
> which researchers and students undertake their studies.

> Edited by a leading scholar of global 
> communication, this collection of essays by 
> internationally-acclaimed scholars from around 
> the world aims to stimulate a debate about the 
> imperatives for internationalizing media studies 
> by broadening its remit, including innovative 
> research methodologies, taking account of 
> regional and national specificities and 
> pedagogic necessities warranted by the changing 
> profile of students and researchers and 
> unprecedented growth of media in non-Western world.
