Global Media Economics

This text studies the increasing international marketplace for media companies, exploring the mergers and acquisitions, the impact of technology, and the implications of changing regulatory policies and a growing world economy that are the most salient features of this scene.

The contributors to this volume take us around the world - from Nigeria to Singapore to Spain - to give reports on how media, political and economic issues intersect in various ways in different countries.

Their essays, combined with a full account of domestic media economics, provide a comprehensive sense of the macro- and microeconomic realities of the media around the globe.
