Globalisation in the media landscape has really help boost the media efficiency of work, which making access to information or news item very easy.
In the economical aspect, Global media has made access to weak and unimpactful information making a country's economy not grow as suppose and also Breed corruption and those who are corrupt to be seen. It also strengthens democracy In an economy such Ghana and other African who practise democracy to interact with their audience and engaging them in decisions making.Making communication a two way. Which is the sender and the receiver then feedback which shows how well decoded it is.
In a nutshell, Global media has really made lots of changes in economies such has Ghana etc. And making the flow of communication easy and interactive.
Globalisation has its issues when it comes to development and the use of media. Each individual ought to be informed on current trends through globalization through the media in order to make informed choices.
The study of the globe has been of importance in helping to know what other countries or nations believe in thereby making it easy for other countries to learn and adjust to some of these beliefs which in the end has brought development to them. The media has also played an important role in bringing about these changes even though it has also been responsible to the rapid spread of inappropriate content which has led to corrupt morals. BACS191185
Media globalization in my view only re-consolidates the already existing dominance by multinational media companies.
While new media technologies may provide an equal playing field for all media players, money is at the heart of these technologies when it comes to who can afford these technologies.
Secondly, the credibility of traditional media organizations influence followership on social media hence we may also argue that the level playing field theory may not be as strong.
In all these,while new media technologies may give all media organizations an opportunity to reach out to millions, it is clear that factors which influence traditional media success replicate or influence new media followership ,viewership or listenership.
Globalization of the media has been valuable in terms of the dissemination of information. We are informed of events and issues as the occur all over the world. BACS19978

BACS 19790 upon the major contribution of globalization to the media and economic development it has also caused problem to our cultural system of some countries. now the media is used to promote foreign culture more than the local one,which can be termed as cultural imperialism. for instance in Ghana every television is showing this foreign movies known as telenovela.Rice is not our local food but the government spend more money on rice than the local foods. thank you.
The media has played a vital role in globalization. Likewise globalization has played a major role in media advancement. The media we see globally today is as a result of the global standards in the world around. For me, I believe the media has the opportunity to set standards locally in order to be significant in that jurisdiction.
The media ought to shift or refocus on local content reportage so that our part of the world does not loose its locality in the face of globalization. Is so doing, the upcoming generation will be left with a sense of belonging such as language in the local context.
Globalization of the media has had it great impact on Africa we all agree that globalization has brought us together basically through the internet but since there is no control of content shared any content shared could accessed by Anyone and this leads to children who can barely reason practice what they see because they feel if others are doing it and is not been condemned they could do it,what measures are put in place to correct theses Also it has lead to an increase in citizen journalism and this keeps degrading the standards of journalism What could be done to solve these issue BACS19498
Globalization or neo-colonization as I would like to put it, is the same as colonization. This time it is more of mental colonization or slavery because it exists more of words than reality. The media is overloaded with information that are not relevant to helping build the smaller economies as promoted by the same media that is owned by the western powers. The owners of natural resources now be the sufferers all in the name of globalization. Economic globalization is only sustained by exploitation of African continent of their resources and constant promotion of wars, usually the divide and rule tactics. We will be talking of real globalization only when the African continent can build walls around its resources and now determine how much value is put on their resources. I hope that courses like this will help stimulate understanding and provoke revolution in future. Africa has to rise to the occasion now.
Globalisation has brought us together but also tear us apart. Even culturally we experience this in our homes where a husband and a wife hardly communicate because they are always on social media and new media devices which are tools for distraction and separation as a result of globalization, taken away reality and building illusions.
The media today is seen playing a key role in enhancing globalization.The whole world has become a global village due to media. The powerful effects of the media is seen to have spread in every society all over the world and even now with the advancement in technology, we are all globally interconnected and communicate with other countries. BACS19980
Globalizatization of the media in itself has helped in knowing issues around the globe, most expecially when it comes to edunction, health, climate change, democracy among other things that affect the global world. The media under the globalizatization has helped countries to follow up to speed what goes on in other countries most essentially when it bothers on outbreak of diseases so to enable other nearby countries to take precaution measures.
Without the slightest doubt, globalization has made a big impact on the media. Although many media outlets have made immense profits out of this, many have also made huge losses most of them being local and old media outlets as many now prefer new media to newspapers.
Again, due to globalization, there has been an invasion of different cultures that either have negative or positive impacts (the negatives override the positives). As a result of this, many have lost their sense of cultural belonging as they tend to copy what is being viewed, read or listened to.
Globalization to an extent has promoted citizen journalism in other words, freedom of expression/speech. Due to the introduction of social media, everyone has the chance to post whatever information they acquire without necessarily applying the journalistic principles and this demeans the professionalism of journalism. The question now is how can globalization's impact on the media be managed to benefit all? Bacs19638
Media Globalization has come to benefit the local media even though some aspects of it breeds unethical contents. Looking at the news websites and blogs created by individuals and groups for transmission of information and other very important developments in the media landscape because of the various avenues created by the global media.

Globalization has a great influence on the media and further its impact on us. The most visible effect of globalization is wide spread communication. The introduction of newspapers, magazine, internet and TV has immensely helped to spread information and has helped people to come together from all over the world. However this impact has its own disadvantages, its advantages are much more.
In my opinion the impact of globalization on media has its own advantages and disadvantages but however the advantages are much more than the disadvantages. globalization has led to opening up of people mind towards not just the walls within which they stay but also be aware of what’s happening around the world. Bacs191135
Media and communication remain the biggest tool for transmitting the ideas, ideals and philosophic of globalization. From the use of propaganda to create class and race systems, to the creation of a global system of subjugation and geopolitical imbalances, the media, through technology, has been extremely important.
This subjugation has been done through the churning out of content that continuously represent the West as saviours and superiors to those of the Black race. Their mega media firms, continue to drown out the African narrative through both reportage and their financial muscle.
The tale of the jungle, in view of our inadequate resources, is certainly being told to glorify the hunter, simply because the jungle does not possess the wherewithal and technological prowess to rival that of the hunter.
Until Africans, especially media professionals, begin to conspire through partnerships toward building an African media empire, this will sadly continue.
The 'strong taste for foreign goods' phenomenon, which has been cited as a major reason for the collapse and inability of local firms to compete favourably with their foreign counterparts is mainly as a direct result of globalization.
Through the spread of consumerism, the media is used to advertise more foreign goods at the expense of indigenous ones because foreign firms can pay huge money.
Drinks, tobacco, perfume, and even sex enhancement drugs, have clouded the airwaves. The least said about social media, the better. Foreign content is killing our creative media space (movies). Telenovela and American soap operas, are the new 'ish'.
The power of global media, has changed and is till changing our behaviours, tastes, and everything we hold dear - our identity.
This strong tasted has increased our quantum of imports and shrunk our exports – it has created an economic imbalance. We import everything, including tooth pick. No wonder our Cedi is galloping.
If all we can do is copy, and not exchange what we have for something better, then we are in trouble.
Globalization is still globalizing us - it is stealing our identity.
The media is obviously one of the leading sectors facilitating globalization as a whole. The global media has become a very powerful agent in positive transformation happening all over the world even though this comes at a price.
The global media has made it possible for individuals from different locations to come together to share ideas as well as to produce and consume information from all around the globe, due to the emergence of the internet. This has provided a field for citizen journalists to play an active role in the process of reporting and disseminating information. It has again helped to create a global experience or feeling without necessarily travelling or being at these places since there are lots of information about lifestyles, places and cultures on the internet.
However, as a result of less censorship or restriction on this platform, lots of fake news with misleading headlines are generated by these citizen journalists which sometimes causes fear and panic in the society and gradually causing ethical standards to fall. Also, children and young adults are exposed to topics which are deemed contrary to the values and morals of their society hence the need for a strict regulation of the media will be in the interest of the public since whatever the media puts out there is consumed by audiences which in turn influences them either positively or negatively.
I sometimes wonder how Africa can catch-up. The media should have been the platform to showcase what we have and place some value on it. But sadly, get rich quick mentality has pushed individuals with especially broadcast licenses to opt for foreign contents like “Mexican soaps”. They then force to localize it by panel discussions and even vox pops. Football is also imported with advertising money from Ghana and most African countries. EPL, Champions League, La Liga, etc. Micheal Essien gets his personal cash as a Ghanaian but more of his kind in the European leagues meant our media had to switch completely to the EPL. And the rest why? Mikel Obi joins and Nigeria went gay. Apart from importing goods from China at a cost to the nation, we are also paying Europeans hard currencies to watch their football. How sad. As Giddens (1991) would put it “Globalisation is… linking distant localities in such a way that local happenings are formed as a result of events that occur many miles away and vice versa”. But has Africa as a continent formed anything good for its own good by its links to distant localities? The world is already connected, there is a vast global market; but only individuals are befitting from this integration because of capitalism. And arguably we cannot go back to communism or socialism so the best we can do is to look within ourselves and see what can work and this can only me successful with the full backing of the globalized media. But my problem is the concept of ‘globalisation’ is an age-old thing though there are some suggestions that actual planned or orchestrated integration of the world in terms of its economy as well as people and cultures may have started in the 1970’s with the idea of a “global village”. But African history seems to be connected to everything negative or the bad side of what should have benefited all. Talk of trans-Atlantic slave trade and now what? capital flight…? Before then the west was taking the labour and now they are taking the capital needed to be re-injected into the African economy. All the pan-african news channels established to tell the African story are still struggling, I cannot even readily recall their brands….rather, BBC, DW, CNN are doing what they think is right for us. Do we thank them? When would we close the gap? My short comment folks.
The media is by no doubt as one of the leading sectors facilitating globalization as a whole. The media is now powerful industry for positive transformation in terms of economy, politics ,sports among others. The media is used to advertise more local and foreign content as a result of globalization. The media is a tool to transform ideals and propaganda. Bacs19855
Globalization has made it possible to empower marginalised groups. Through media, women are able to share their stories with the world, urging other women across the world to also speak up. BACS191079
The media's role is globalization cannot be understated. However it is also important to analyze the negative aspect of the media. In the African context, I'm of the view that the media has not helped our globalization course.
One issue confronting media globalisation is that it sometimes contributes to the falling ethical standards.the unprophessional behaviours some people in the media display contradict the ethical standards of the media. Some community journalist who are not really professionals tends to articulate fake news. ..
The media globalization has helped us positively in a way that we can connect to our friends and families far away but has also brought negative influences in a way that we now consume more of the foreign content than our own content leading to corrupt morals.
Globalization Media: issue confronting media globalisation is that it sometimes contributes to the falling ethical standards.the unprophessional behaviours some people in the media display contradict the ethical standards of the media.

Globalization has a great influence on the media and further it’s impact on us, through facilitating culture exchanges and multiple flows of information
The idea of New media technologies creating an equal playing field for organizations is an illusion and not the actual. Some countries like Ghana do not have internet connection in some areas including some parts of the capital, so imagine your organization is sited in one of these areas and you're trying to compete with on the international market because the Chinese have flooded your local market with similar products, the probability of your organization failing is very high. Another thing is the capital to embark on creative research about, your new market and what appeals to them. BACS191015
Our culture and values have been infiltrated. Hardly will you see people upholding to and practicing those values we deem fit for because of change in contents on our national TVs. Children's programmes like 'by the fire side', 'kyekyekule' have be turned to some cartoons. Our kids could hardly understand the inport because it is not within our settings. Every media house want to beat competition and so do not cross check facts before information is put put out there. We always want to practice what we see on TV even though it might not depict Ghanaian values. It is good to be knowing what goes on around the world because of media but Ghana needs to regulate and sanitize the industry in order to get good content worth listening to or watching.

Media globalization impacts negatively more on developing countries. This because, the developed countries are able to influence the local media with their content hence shaping their thoughts and impacting their idealogies on the indegenes.

Generally speaking, globalization has made possible adequate and timely processing and dissemination of information. Media men and women are able to share notes across continents and countries before going public and again it has become possible for citizens to know what is happening in other countries, which was not the case when media was not available.
Earlier to communicate, people use to write letters send them through post or through other mediums. No city had any idea of what was going on in their neighboring city. The press media was the first breakthrough. The beginning of the Press media was seen after the information revolution. The press became an active participant in the tasks of promoting, projecting, and supporting the process. Globalization has assisted in networking among journalists; and these facilities have revolutionized news, printing, editing and reportage.
Also the coming of TV and Radio made it even easy for those who could not read or write to watch and listen so they could follow the issues being reported.
Globalization connects the world such that local events are influenced by events happening miles away and the media is the main tool that facilitates this process. BACS 19963
Political globalization is one of the three main dimensions of globalization commonly found in academic literature, with the two other being economic globalization and cultural globalization.
Today we had a short test and I was so disorganised I did not pay particular attention to rule number one in examinations, and that is read the question and understand what is demanded. I therefore want to share how I understood the question without necessarily putting the syntax of the question here. The question simply asked to discuss three views (there are more than three) put forward by the proponents of globalization.
First who is a proponent? Let's get the distinction between a proponent and an opponent. Proponent argues for and an opponent argues against. So while some sees the benefits (proponents) others see the bad (opponents) of globalization. So the question is asking you to discuss the views of those who think globalization is good.
To answer this we can focus on the dimensions of globalization: trade, finance, aid, knowledge, and migration. Any of these can aid in your answer. For example, proponents of globalization belief that free markets and limited government interference will lead to creation of jobs, higher living conditions, competition which will result in lower prices and quality goods and services. They believe globalization will result in international trade, specialization in specific goods and services which the nation states have competitive advantage. Another view is that globalization has led to the promotion of information exchange, technological exchange and quality of education. Another view is that globalization has led to the dismantling of autocratic regimes and replaced it with democracy. Another view is that globalization has led to increase in foreign direct investment and cross-border investment which enables poor economies to develop.
Globalisation has indeed come to stay and seems to be irreversible. •Globalisation extends to every part of the planet, potentially turning the world into a global village.And also nobody is in charge of it.
I think Globalisation has made us selective in content where we compare content and choose what we think is worth watching or reading (and this has brought about competition in the media, this has made management in the media to produce good content.
BACS19989:Globalization has really come to stay.The media also helped in giving out information to every country within a very short time.Ideas is being shared among countries.
The concept of globalization has arguably been said to benefit no party at the expense of another. Yes, arguably so. Considering post independent Africa and how we have adopted governance systems such at the parliamentary and presidential systems; embracing democracy among other western governance features, I believe Africa used to have a system that worked for us well. Yes we highly practiced the chieftaincy system where we ruled through kings and queens. Now that has been modified as the monarchial system. Factually, the former had councils of elders and modes of enstooling and enkinning. Wasn't that the "democracy" now? Aside the paramount chief there were sub chiefs. Now we have a president and regional ministers and in some places; governors. Do you see any striking difference? Some schools of thought argue globalization is for the greater good and that no one controls it, therefore not benefiting one more than another. I however, believe the concept of globalization has string pullers and a faction it benefits more.
It does not matter who you are, the power of globalization is usurping our very freedom as individuals and sovereignty as a nation. Through international diplomacy, geopolitics and mediated media, a commoner, the so-called 'international standards', is being used to control our local affairs, control our economy, educational system, and our very sovereignty - including who rules us.
What is a connected global village, if your power of choice is not respected?
Globalization is really a threat to our freedom, not a benefit.
The media in this global age has moved from just providing it's environment with news confined to it. Most media stations in Ghana for example, in addition to it's daily local news includes segments for international or foreign news. This is seen both in print and broadcast media.
The media in its own have enhanced globalization through its effort to spread worldly news across the glope instead of their geographical region alone.At leaat media houses always try to disseminate news of other countries and continents for the citizens to be well informed about worldly occurrence.
Globalization has affected media positively. I think media practitioners should use this opportunity to get more detailed information for consumers by way of enlightenment.Thank you sir.
Media globalization is another tragedy for most, if not all African countries, though it should have been an opportunity to market our unique potentials. Apart from buying whatever content offered by the multinational media conglomerates, we are actually selling our broadcast spectrums to them. Arguably; and I stand to be corrected, Startimes' footprint and operations in African is very suspicious. ref. ( No agreement on digital TV platform to StarTimes — George Andah). Are we going or are we coming?
Globalisation (homogenisation), in my opinion, is not making the world the same. If people are sharing the same culture at a material time does make them the same because the moment one steps out of that time and ‘splace’, that person goes back his/her original culture. If the converse is true, then we can say globalisation is making us the same. For instance, the fact that a full blooded Ewe eats ‘kenkey’ or speaks Ga does not make him a Ga. But if we look at the main ingredient which corn in this case, it is widely used by many ethnic groups in Ghana and on that score, we can say we are the same. Heterogenisation, on the other hand, which is about multi-directional spread of culture, politics, economic, etc does not seem to benefit the third world countries that much due to culture imperialism whose main driving force is the media. The third world countries cannot penetrate the first world countries with their culture because their media do not travel far. So we seem to be consuming more of the western culture usually propagated by these western media conglomerates such as BBC, CNN. BACS 191118
The perception about technology making the world a level play ground is debatable due to the fact that, certain developing countries such as Ghana has parts of the country detached from what is even happening in the cities. This is as result of the absence of internet connection. BACS191218
A global media is not just a media with a global physical appearance like the BBC and CNN but it also refers to the ideology of how a media should function; in terms of production and dissemination of content.
Globalisation has brought KFC, apple, WhatsApp, Samsung from other parts of the world to is here, what’s our own contribution to that regard? Cocoa or azonto? BACS191120
With media the globe can be well studied and understand as well as with globalization the media can be well studied and understand regarding information
Because, the media is used to study the globe and the globe itself is well understood through the media
Media has made globalization very simple even though it has its good and bad side. But if well studied, we can use it to for development to help better lives. BACS19891
The Media has aided greatly in globalization. It is still doing a great job.Now Ghanaians dress like Indians and our own African prints in making waves out there.
Globalization often appears to be a force of nature, a phenomenon without bounds or alternatives. But peoples’ movements have shown that it is neither unalterable nor inevitable. Citizens all over the world—ordinary people from the global North and South—can work together to shape alternate futures, to build a globalization of cooperation, solidarity and respect for our common planetary environment.
globalisation in the media has also ensured that, the media provide quick, and up to speed information to the general public. thus, through globalisation, media organizations all over the world, have correspondents who tend to provide them with information from different countries. this is further done through the use of modern technological devices which are able to do several things at the same time.
BACS19902 Globalization is about free movement and actually brings the world together and that the media through it's channels help spread or send messages across the world from one continent to the other. Remember it brings together a variety of networks and media, like CNN, ALJAZIRA,BBC, CBC. Also the use of social media network and access help in sharing of the messages across the world. It's effects are awesome, take a swipe at how based on these new technologies we are unable to regulate how media organization operate. Remember that there is also an uneven flow of information on issues as most people are not in use of these technologies and that messages trickling in will be received late or they might even not hear it at all.
Taking into consideration that effects of global issues and how it tends to affect the media, one can say that, globalization changes the face of the media.
Globalization of the media has and will always be valuable in terms of its ability to spread information. Thus, information is conveyed from one point to where ever its intended to go to.
Globalization has contributed massively to communication. Gone are the days when it took days ,weeks and months to talk to someone but globalization has made it possible to talk to people who are 1000 miles away from you BACS19737
I am well convinced that before we can comprehend media mediation,we need media and communication research.Due to how globalized the world is,the media has been able to permeate faster and has contributed to inculcating positive impact om mankind.Today,one cannot do without the media.Unfortunately,due to inadequate control of media content,accessibility is made available to everyone irrespective of age.Children and the under aged group who are to be deprived of inappropriate contents now come into direct contact with them due to how globalized the media is now. BACS19203
The advent of technology has made globalization useful. Even though some believe, its not a new phenomenon. Thanks to the media, the world is now a global village where everything can be done and said with social media BACS19011
The media has become weaponised by globalists to fester propaganda instead of serving the true purpose of information and education. It is about time people with the financial resources invest in professionalism driven mass media ventures. The masses surely deserve better.
BACS19257 Media globalization I would say have brought media imperialism where large amount of media output are produced by just a few. This has led to smaller countries to lose their identities due to the force feeding of media from larger nations. For this reason local media are faced with either being freed out or swallowed up.
Globalization undoubtedly has its ups and downs, I think what matters is the media finding the right balance on what to feed its audiences. Also local media can take advantage of this opportunity to project their countries in a positive manner.
To me we study the media in the context of globalization because today the media play key role in enhancing globalization. For instance, through the media we listen, copy, study and above all know what is happening across the glob. and also the media play important key role in facilitating culture exchange flows of information between countries.
Media globalization has enhanced the free flow of information between countries.The media plays a key role in political globalization and cultural globalization. The media becomes the medium through which people in other countries learn about the culture of others. BACS19964
Globalization has added more insight into the lives of other people in other countries to learn and know more about other cultures especially thriuth the media.
The media should be studied in the context of globalisation because the media is able to play an important role in globalisation by sharing information that propagates culture and technology among others from different parts of the world giving us a sense of interconnectedness. Media even shapes globalisation by creating and sharing standards of doing things such as what to include in media reporting, style of governance etc.
In Ghana, globalization is making the production and distribution of media content more faster and wider with the use of online platforms and media apps.

The media under the globalizatization has helped countries to follow up to speed what goes on in other countries most essentially when it bothers on outbreak of diseases so to enable other nearby countries to take precaution measures.

BACS 191059
Without the slightest doubt, globalization has made a big impact on the media. Although many media outlets have made immense profits out of this, many have also made huge losses most of them being local and old media outlets as many now prefer new media to newspapers.
Again, due to globalization, there has been an invasion of different cultures that either have negative or positive impacts (the negatives override the positives). As a result of this, many have lost their sense of cultural belonging as they tend to copy what is being viewed, read or listened to.
Globalization to an extent has promoted citizen journalism in other words, freedom of expression/speech. Due to the introduction of social media, everyone has the chance to post whatever information they acquire without necessarily applying the journalistic principles and this demeans the professionalism of journalism. The question now is how can globalization's impact on the media be managed to benefit all?

Globalization has a great influence on the media and further its impact on us. The most visible effect of globalization is wide spread communication. The introduction of newspapers, magazine, internet and TV has immensely helped to spread information and has helped people to come together from all over the world. However this impact has its own disadvantages, its advantages are much more.
In my opinion the impact of globalization on media has its own advantages and disadvantages but however the advantages are much more than the disadvantages. globalization has led to opening up of people mind towards not just the walls within which they stay but also be aware of what’s happening around the world.

Media and communication remain the biggest tool for transmitting the ideas, ideals and philosophic of globalization. From the use of propaganda to create class and race systems, to the creation of a global system of subjugation and geopolitical imbalances, the media, through technology, has been extremely important.
This subjugation has been done through the churning out of content that continuously represent the West as saviours and superiors to those of the Black race. Their mega media firms, continue to drown out the African narrative through both reportage and their financial muscle.
The tale of the jungle, in view of our inadequate resources, is certainly being told to glorify the hunter, simply because the jungle does not possess the wherewithal and technological prowess to rival that of the hunter.
Until Africans, especially media professionals, begin to conspire through partnerships toward building an African media empire, this will sadly continue.
It is pitiful, indeed.

The 'strong taste for foreign goods' phenomenon, which has been cited as a major reason for the collapse and inability of local firms to compete favourably with their foreign counterparts is mainly as a direct result of globalization.
Through the spread of consumerism, the media is used to advertise more foreign goods at the expense of indigenous ones because foreign firms can pay huge money.
Drinks, tobacco, perfume, and even sex enhancement drugs, have clouded the airwaves. The least said about social media, the better. Foreign content is killing our creative media space (movies). Telenovela and American soap operas, are the new 'ish'.
The power of global media, has changed and is till changing our behaviours, tastes, and everything we hold dear - our identity.
This strong tasted has increased our quantum of imports and shrunk our exports – it has created an economic imbalance. We import everything, including tooth pick. No wonder our Cedi is galloping.
If all we can do is copy, and not exchange what we have for something better, then we are in trouble.
Globalization is still globalizing us - it is stealing our identity.
Are we watching, or we are simply, looking?
BACS19758
The media is obviously one of the leading sectors facilitating globalization as a whole. The global media has become a very powerful agent in positive transformation happening all over the world even though this comes at a price.
The global media has made it possible for individuals from different locations to come together to share ideas as well as to produce and consume information from all around the globe, due to the emergence of the internet. This has provided a field for citizen journalists to play an active role in the process of reporting and disseminating information. It has again helped to create a global experience or feeling without necessarily travelling or being at these places since there are lots of information about lifestyles, places and cultures on the internet.
However, as a result of less censorship or restriction on this platform, lots of fake news with misleading headlines are generated by these citizen journalists which sometimes causes fear and panic in the society and gradually causing ethical standards to fall. Also, children and young adults are exposed to topics which are deemed contrary to the values and morals of their society hence the need for a strict regulation of the media will be in the interest of the public since whatever the media puts out there is consumed by audiences which in turn influences them either positively or negatively.
BACS19446
I sometimes wonder how Africa can catch-up. The media should have been the platform to showcase what we have and place some value on it. But sadly, get rich quick mentality has pushed individuals with especially broadcast licenses to opt for foreign contents like “Mexican soaps”. They then force to localize it by panel discussions and even vox pops.
Football is also imported with advertising money from Ghana and most African countries. EPL, Champions League, La Liga, etc. Micheal Essien gets his personal cash as a Ghanaian but more of his kind in the European leagues meant our media had to switch completely to the EPL. And the rest why? Mikel Obi joins and Nigeria went gay. Apart from importing goods from China at a cost to the nation, we are also paying Europeans hard currencies to watch their football. How sad.
As Giddens (1991) would put it “Globalisation is… linking distant localities in such a way that local happenings are formed as a result of events that occur many miles away and vice versa”. But has Africa as a continent formed anything good for its own good by its links to distant localities?
The world is already connected, there is a vast global market; but only individuals are befitting from this integration because of capitalism. And arguably we cannot go back to communism or socialism so the best we can do is to look within ourselves and see what can work and this can only me successful with the full backing of the globalized media.
But my problem is the concept of ‘globalisation’ is an age-old thing though there are some suggestions that actual planned or orchestrated integration of the world in terms of its economy as well as people and cultures may have started in the 1970’s with the idea of a “global village”. But African history seems to be connected to everything negative or the bad side of what should have benefited all. Talk of trans-Atlantic slave trade and now what? capital flight…? Before then the west was taking the labour and now they are taking the capital needed to be re-injected into the African economy.
All the pan-african news channels established to tell the African story are still struggling, I cannot even readily recall their brands….rather, BBC, DW, CNN are doing what they think is right for us. Do we thank them? When would we close the gap? My short comment folks.

Generally speaking, globalization has made possible adequate and timely processing and dissemination of information. Media men and women are able to share notes across continents and countries before going public and again it has become possible for citizens to know what is happening in other countries, which was not the case when media was not available.
Earlier to communicate, people use to write letters send them through post or through other mediums. No city had any idea of what was going on in their neighboring city. The press media was the first breakthrough. The beginning of the Press media was seen after the information revolution. The press became an active participant in the tasks of promoting, projecting, and supporting the process. Globalization has assisted in networking among journalists; and these facilities have revolutionized news, printing, editing and reportage.
Also the coming of TV and Radio made it even easy for those who could not read or write to watch and listen so they could follow the issues being reported.
Globalization connects the world such that local events are influenced by events happening miles away and the media is the main tool that facilitates this process. BACS 19963

Today we had a short test and I was so disorganised I did not pay particular attention to rule number one in examinations, and that is read the question and understand what is demanded. I therefore want to share how I understood the question without necessarily putting the syntax of the question here.
The question simply asked to discuss three views (there are more than three) put forward by the proponents of globalization.
First who is a proponent? Let's get the distinction between a proponent and an opponent. Proponent argues for and an opponent argues against. So while some sees the benefits (proponents) others see the bad (opponents) of globalization. So the question is asking you to discuss the views of those who think globalization is good.
To answer this we can focus on the dimensions of globalization: trade, finance, aid, knowledge, and migration. Any of these can aid in your answer.
For example, proponents of globalization belief that free markets and limited government interference will lead to creation of jobs, higher living conditions, competition which will result in lower prices and quality goods and services. They believe globalization will result in international trade, specialization in specific goods and services which the nation states have competitive advantage.
Another view is that globalization has led to the promotion of information exchange, technological exchange and quality of education.
Another view is that globalization has led to the dismantling of autocratic regimes and replaced it with democracy.
Another view is that globalization has led to increase in foreign direct investment and cross-border investment which enables poor economies to develop.

BACS19989:Globalization has really come to stay.The media also helped in giving out information to every country within a very short time.Ideas is being shared among countries.
The concept of globalization has arguably been said to benefit no party at the expense of another. Yes, arguably so. Considering post independent Africa and how we have adopted governance systems such at the parliamentary and presidential systems; embracing democracy among other western governance features, I believe Africa used to have a system that worked for us well. Yes we highly practiced the chieftaincy system where we ruled through kings and queens. Now that has been modified as the monarchial system. Factually, the former had councils of elders and modes of enstooling and enkinning. Wasn't that the "democracy" now? Aside the paramount chief there were sub chiefs. Now we have a president and regional ministers and in some places; governors. Do you see any striking difference?
Some schools of thought argue globalization is for the greater good and that no one controls it, therefore not benefiting one more than another. I however, believe the concept of globalization has string pullers and a faction it benefits more.

Its negative effects not withstanding, media globalization also yields a number of benefits. BACS 19963
Globalisation (homogenisation), in my opinion, is not making the world the same. If people are sharing the same culture at a material time does make them the same because the moment one steps out of that time and ‘splace’, that person goes back his/her original culture. If the converse is true, then we can say globalisation is making us the same. For instance, the fact that a full blooded Ewe eats ‘kenkey’ or speaks Ga does not make him a Ga. But if we look at the main ingredient which corn in this case, it is widely used by many ethnic groups in Ghana and on that score, we can say we are the same.
Heterogenisation, on the other hand, which is about multi-directional spread of culture, politics, economic, etc does not seem to benefit the third world countries that much due to culture imperialism whose main driving force is the media. The third world countries cannot penetrate the first world countries with their culture because their media do not travel far. So we seem to be consuming more of the western culture usually propagated by these western media conglomerates such as BBC, CNN.

It's effects are awesome, take a swipe at how based on these new technologies we are unable to regulate how media organization operate. Remember that there is also an uneven flow of information on issues as most people are not in use of these technologies and that messages trickling in will be received late or they might even not hear it at all.
