There has been a conventional wisdom in contemporary media studies that views the phenomenon of globalisation (economic, political, technological and cultural) as a process that diminishes the role of the nation-state. Extrapolating from the observation that each generation of media technologies has enabled more rapid transmission of messages from one place to another, and that the scale of technologies such as those associated with communication satellites and digital networks is global, it has been claimed that forces associated with globalisation weaken the capacity of nation-states to regulate media institutions and media content
