Globalization essentially refers to the increased interactions on various fronts at the international level. In many cases globalization has been interpreted to mean the trade among different nations.

1.According to Banerjee Debanjan, mass communication “refers to the activities of the media as a whole and fails to distinguish among specific media, modes of communication, genres of text or artifact, production or reception situations, or any question of actual communication” (Debanjan, 2010, p. 118).

Introduction to Digital Communication

Introduction to Digital Communication Being the first week of the lecture, this topic remains intriguing to me.

As the lecturer puts it, the concept of identity is multifaceted. There is no clear-cut definition and understanding of personal identity. I can reflect from the topic that identity can be either a personal thing or a group ...

In the digital disconnect, McChesney describes the digital age in the contemporary society in two in the perception of the two kinds of people.

If you were to tell your great grandmother or great grandfather that journalism is in a present-day crisis, they would probably tell you that that’s an absurd idea.

Therefore, I argue that journalism is in crisis for three reasons: the advent of the internet has resulted in so much readily available news from different mediums that ...
