This paper compares Australian and Mexican focus groups discussing the media memories of their youth. It forms part of the Global Media Generations 2000 project, in which cohorts of three generations have been interviewed in 12 countries. The first radio, television and internet generations were asked about the media environment of their youth, about the major local and international events they recalled, and finally about a number of significant international events. This paper uses the results of two countries to argue for a version of media relativism: that the way events are remembered is in part determined by the media available.

<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p>Globalization affects the lives of individuals by showing themselves in many areas. The notion of globalization, which is particularly influential in the field of economy, politics and culture, has led to change and transformation through important influences both in the media and in the news cycle. In this context, with the globalization of the media, attempts have been made to create a uniform culture all over the world. Movies, TV programs, music video clips, have also changed in support of this argument. The global news cycle, which is in the hands of international agencies, causes an imbalance in the global flow as it is published due to the views of western imperialism of a certain capital. In this context, "news" is only in the hands of certain agencies; the dominance is maintained. In particular, although they are working to correct them on the effects of the global media and on the imbalances in the news cycle, they have not yet reached a sufficient level. Because of the international cycle of communication, the global media environment is in the hands of certain capitalists, imbalances are also felt in the environment. In this study, it will be discussed how the globalization phenomenon, especially the reflection of the media, and as a result, the news and other visual media messages affect the target audience. Following the identification of the situation, this structure will be referred to the work that can be described as "contradictions" and this particular emphasis on local / new media actors that may create alternatives will be addressed.</p><p><strong>Öz</strong></p><p>Küreselleşme, pek çok alanda kendini göstererek, bireylerin yaşamlarını etkilemektedir. Özellikle ekonomi, siyaset ve kültür alanında etkili olan küreselleşme kavramı, medyada ve haber döngüsünde de önemli etkileri vasıtasıyla değişim ve dönüşüme yol açmıştır. Buna kapsamda, medyanın küreselleşmesiyle birlikte, tüm dünya üzerinde tek tip bir kültür oluşturulması girişimleri de söz konusu olmuştur. Filmler, tv programları, müzik klipleri de bu savı destekler nitelikte değişimler göstermiştir. Uluslararası ajansların elinde olan küresel haber döngüsü ise belli bir sermayeye ait batı emperyalizmi görüşlerine bağlı olarak yayınlandığı için küresel akışta bir dengesizliğe sebep olmaktadır. Bu kapsamda, “haber” sadece belli ajansların elinde olup; söz konusu hakimiyet sürdürülmektedir. Özellikle, küresel medyanın etkilerinde ve haber döngüsündeki dengesizlikler üzerinde bunları düzeltmeye yönelik çalışmalar olsa da, henüz yeterli düzeye erişilememiştir. İletişimdeki uluslararası döngü, küresel medya ortamı belli sermayelerin elinde olduğu için ortamda dengesizlikler de kendini hissettirmektedir. Bu çalışmada küreselleşme olgusunun özellikle medyaya yansımaları ve bunun sonucunda haberlerin ve diğer görsel medya iletilerinin hedef kitleyi nasıl etkileyip, yönlendirdiği tartışılacak; durum tespiti ardından, bu yapıya “karşı çıkışlar” olarak nitelenebilecek çalışmalara değinilecek ve  alternatif oluşturabilecek yerel/yeni medya aktörlerinin bu husustaki önemi ele alınacaktır.</p>

The Cultural Revolution

Contemporary China is seen as a place of widespread commodification and consumerism, while the preceeding Maoist Cultural Revolution is typically understood as a time when goods were scarce and the state criticized what little consumption was possible. Indeed, with the exception of the likeness and words of Mao Zedong, both the media and material culture of the Cultural Revolution are often characterized as a void out of which the postsocialist world of commodity consumption miraculously sprang fully formed. In Newborn Socialist Things, Laurence Coderre explores the material culture of the Cultural Revolution to show how it paved the way for commodification in contemporary China. Examining objects ranging from retail counters and porcelain statuettes to textbooks and vanity mirrors, she shows how the project of building socialism in China has always been intimately bound up with consumption. By focusing on these objects—or “newborn socialist things”—along with the Cultural Revolution’s media environment, discourses of materiality, and political economy, Coderre reconfigures understandings of the origins of present-day China.

This chapter offers a counter-narrative to the notion that journalists play the primary role in determining how news gets received by the public. Instead, it suggests that the interplay between different forces within the media environment shapes news consumption. News providers cannot alone determine how their content will be received, nor can audiences alone go out and find exactly what will leave them most satisfied. Consequently, even as news publishers make large, bold changes, these strategies are far from guaranteed to affect the way that audiences currently do (or do not) interact with the news. Structures and habits are powerful things and lead to a profound stubbornness when it comes to news audience behavior. In short, making the news better will not necessarily make it more profitable, simply because audience behavior is hard to change and even harder to predict.

This paper represents a small contribution to the study of media generations in Serbia. The research on which the paper is based starts from the model formulated by Goran Bolin, who drew on Karl Mannheim's theoretical postulates. The principal question that has served as the starting point of inquiry is in what way media (as technologies and content) and related experiences affect the forming of generational belonging of media generations in Serbia, and how they influence their use of media in the contemporary digital environment. In order to understand the context of the historical development of media in the formative period of life of generation members, the paper first provides a description of the "objective media environment". It consists of key years in the development of media in Serbia, crucial social events reported on by the media, and sociological analyses that contribute significantly to the understanding of each of the generations studied. For the purposes of the second and third level of analysis, a focus group study was carried out with members of three generations. Using the classification proposed by Oblinger and Oblinger, also used today by the Pew Research Center, the generations have been defined as (1) the Post-war Generation or Generation P (1946-1964), Generation X (1965-1980) and Generation M or Millennials (1981-1995). Their members were born before the intruduction of commercial intenet in Serbia, and grew up in different media and social environments. The second level of analysis, which Bolin terms the "subjective media environment", involved a phenomenological approach to the study of generation members' recollections of "first contacts" and subjective experiences contributing to the creation of a sense of generational belonging. Then, in order to establish which specific generational patterns are manifested in the contemporary media environment, an analysis was conducted of the way in which members of different generations use media today, which is the very reason they can be referred to as media generations. The research has highlighted the importance of two formative life periods; also, it suggests that it is in fact media generational units that manifest their specificities within each of the defined generations. In addition, it has been found that media generations can be distinguished not only according to their current media habits, but also according to the way they perceive the role of the media in society, the expectations they have of the media, and their understanding of their own position as users of these media. Thus Generation P, as the "generation of traditional media", perceives media primarily as content. Generation X, as a "mix of radio/music and internet generations", sees media primarily as technology that offers various possibilities. Generation M, on the other hand, can be said to be the first "networked generation" for which the media are a space that enables them to be continuously connected to others, and in which they can obtain information, find entertainment, and study/work.

The significance of the paper is predefined by the qualitative shifts in the information environment of society, characterized by the fluidity of the media. Social and technological changes in the Internet have had a crucial impact on the media audience’s perception of cultural artefacts. A decisive and ongoing factor has been the change in the functions of the audience, which is increasingly being transformed into an actor of information relations in society. In particular, there is a radical rearrangement of the actors in the subject-object relationship in media propaganda. In the media environment, the linear flow of time gives way to a chaotic flow that violates possible cause-effect relations; the values of artefacts of the past and present “stop having a certain propaganda impact on the audience, rather they themselves are “irradiated” by the propaganda intensions of the audience. Thus, the practices of symbolic domination implemented in the media environment acquire new forms and new social content. The empirical basis of the research was the findings of focus groups comparing the socio-philosophical meaning of movies from different eras (1968, 2015) and different countries (the USSR, the USA), with the same events as the basis of the movies. The meaning of the current problem predetermined the reference to the works of philosophers, political scientists, sociologists, theorists of journalism (Z. Bauman, I. Hoffman, S. Dudnik, D. Dubrovsky, S. Ilchenko, T. Eriksen, etc.). Methodology of focus groups, supplemented by the highlighting of semantic counterpoints of the discussions, their grouping and further inclusion in the context of the discussion to record the respondents’ reflection on the generalizing conclusions was used; content analysis of the transcripts of focus groups was conducted. The materials of the paper may be of interest to culturologists, political scientists and theorists of journalism.

The media influence politics by providing intelligence and arena for political statements. Therefore, the danger of spreading false information and deliberate disinformation can have serious consequences. It is impossible to accuse specific media outlets of unfair coverage, but one cannot fail to note the existing resonance in media reports from different countries. Interpretations of the same events are radically different, while a journalist must rely on facts. The world is faced with the problem of global misunderstanding and information discord. Modern international broadcasting plays an important role in shaping the picture of the event for the world community. It is impossible to deny that the information agenda of many foreign broadcast media depends to some extent on a number of reasons: nationality, foreign policy of his state, profitability. Otherwise, the global media would not contradict each other. We want to track how modern foreign broadcasting builds its agenda and what principles it is guided by.

Bossa Mundo chronicles how Brazilian music has been central to Brazil’s national brand in the United States and the United Kingdom since the late 1950s. Scholarly texts on Brazilian popular music generally focus on questions of music and national identity, and when they discuss the music’s international popularity, they keep the artists, recordings, and live performances as the focus, ignoring the process of transnational mediation. This book fills a major gap in Brazilian music studies by analyzing the consequences of moments when Brazilian music was popular in Anglophone markets, with a focus on the media industries. With subject matter as varied as jazz, film music, dance fads, DJ/remix culture, and new models of musical distribution, the book demonstrates how the mediation of Brazilian music in an increasingly crowded transnational marketplace has had lasting consequences for the creative output celebrated by Brazil as part of its national brand. Through a discussion of the political meaning of mass-mediated music in chronologically organized chapters, the book shifts the scholarly focus on the music’s transnational popularity from the scholarly framework of representing Otherness to broader considerations of a media environment where listeners and intermediaries often have differing priorities. The book provides a new model for studying music from culturally rich countries in the Global South where local governments often leverage stereotypes in their national branding project.
