America’s Global Media and Culture
Introduction
I agree with Thussu (2014) that America's global media and sovereignty are still powerful despite the rivalry by the rise of the rest. The upcoming media flows and powers from Asia with the old histories and new global aspirations are the major source of the rivalry against the American media and culture. Mobility in the media industry is considered a major element in the increasingly digitized global communication ecology. The world is connected globally today, and flows of all types of information and entertainment disseminate across the world in real-time. New technologies ensure the making, consumption, and supply of info in a sophisticated way and unrestrained by the time-based and spatial barriers. Every individual experience a profound transformation in the global media today. America is among the first countries that expressed the digitization of its media industry. Long before any country could produce quality media creations, Hollywood was already making history through its technology-enabled productions that thrilled the world. Today, countries such as China and India have come out strongly with their digitized media, threatening to outgrow America's abilities and techniques in its media industry. The American media industry and culture hold a superior position in technology and digitization despite the threats from emerging media controls such as China and India.
