Description:

Offering an account of the global expansion of Discovery and its relationship with media globalization, this book explores the way in which the processes of media globalization unfold and develop, and traces some of the possible consequences.

Synopsis:

This book is about the relationship between media and globalization, explored through the unique study of the global expansion of Discovery Communications, spearheaded by the Discovery Channel, one of the world's largest providers of factual television programming and media content. The book argues that the study of Discovery's relationship with globalization provides both a specific and a more general practical and theoretical understanding of how the processes of increased linking and interweaving of media and communications unfold and develop, as well as some of the consequences of this.
