In a world increasingly polarising into media-rich and media-poor nations, the rapid spread of satellite and cable television has triggered a vigorous debate on the globalisation of media and markets. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, media and communications technologies have been converging at an unprecendented pace worldwide.

The book would be most useful for advertising practitioners and media planners, as well as to scholars undertaking research in the field of media globalization and advertising. -- Asian Journal of Social Sciences
