This is a very readable research study so sometimes it goes a little slow, but for what it is, it's very interesting and thought provoking.

The information given on the globalization of media and corporations effects on society is immensely important for today. Also decent prose makes it readable

[Raashi Shastry · Rating 4 out of 5]

It offered a unique perspective on the media's role in globalization. I appreciated the fact that it has both sides of the argument and contains many examples.
