		Media Imperialism is a critical theory regarding the perceived effects of globalization on the world's media.
		It is closely tied to the similar theory of cultural imperialism.

		In this taxonomy of mass media theories, cultural imperialism falls within the category of macroscopic theories in that it attempts to offer a systematic explanation of media's role in the exchange of information between countries and their (i.e., the media) subsequent impact on the indigenous cultures of those countries.
		The growing role of the media in the development of capitalism has drawn increasing attention to the strong relationship between cultural and media imperialism because media play important roles in the reproduction of the capitalist system at both the economic and ideological levels (Salinas and Paldan, 1979).
		The second important theory, that of media imperialism, is somewhat less structural and Marxist in orientation and tends to focus on the imbalance of power and media flows.

	Manufacturing Consent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media is a book by Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky, first published in 1988.
		Presenting an analysis its authors call the "propaganda model", the book argues that since mass media news outlets are now run by large corporations, they are under the same competitive pressures as other corporations.
		The documentary film Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media, directed by Mark Achbar and Peter Wintonick was based in part on Chomsky and Herman's work; the remainder of the film serves as a biography of Chomsky.

		For critical political economists, media imperialism theorists, and antiglobalization activists, the process by which media corporations gain power and untrammeled market forces consolidate their hegemony is hardly a matter for democratic enthusiasm (McChesney and Herman 1997; Schiller 1996).
		Studies of media policies continue to demonstrate that, notwithstanding the strong combined pressures from external actors (global corporations, financial institutions, and international bodies), states ultimately hold the power to pass legislation that affects domestic media industries.
		Nation-based media continue to be important not only for propagandizing state ideals but, contrarily, for expanding the opportunities for citizens to produce and consume information that is relevant to them as members of political and cultural communities as well.

	Monthly Review March 2001 Robert W. McChesney
		In media this means the relaxation or elimination of barriers to commercial exploitation of media and to concentrated media ownership.
		As a result, the second-tier media firms in the developing nations tend to have distinctly pro-business political agendas and to support expansion of the global media market, which puts them at odds with large segments of the population in their home countries.
		But ultimately, once capitalist relations have become preeminent, the global corporate media system is politically conservative, because the media giants are significant beneficiaries of the current social structure around the world, and any upheaval in property or social relations—particularly to the extent that it reduces the power of business—is not in their interest.

	American Cultural Imperialism & Media Globalisation
		The 'tabloidization' regarding printed media, and 'infotainment' in television, as Paterson points out, is principally a process of 'dumbening' down news, and putting emphases on news concerning sports and stars etc. which may perhaps have further impact on peoples political perception (or maybe lack of it).
