Transnational Television Worldwide: Towards a New Media Order »

Jean K. Chalaby is Lecturer in the Department of Sociology at City University, London.

According to Chalaby (sociology, City U. London, UK), the rise of transnational television "lies at the heart of the current regional and global reshaping of media industries and cultures." Bringing together contributors for Europe, the Middle East, Africa, South Asia, Greater China, and Latin America, she presents ten papers that analyze the issues arising from this phenomena in their respective areas of the world.
