Using case material from France, Sweden, the UK, the US, Mexico, China, Ghana, and Lebanon, McKenzie (East Stroudsburg U. of Pennsylvania) presents a comparative examination of media systems around the world. After introductory discussions of globalization, the basic elements of media systems, and cultural characteristics of the eight example countries, each chapter focuses on a different element of media systems and considers its manifestation for each of the case examples. These elements are regulation of media, financing of media, accessibility of media, media content, news reporting, media imports and exports, and media audiences.
