Digital, networked media have been embraced by countries around the globe, and Asia is at the very forefront of this trend. The region's rapid economic growth and its youthful and increasingly well-educated populace have catalyzed the adoption, consumption, appropriation, and production of digital media content and new technology. Technology penetration is further bolstered in many Asian countries by concerted state support in educational initiatives and information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure. The concepts 'Asian' and 'Asian digital cultures' or a set of cultures forged from core beliefs and experiences unique to a geographically vast region has been the subject of active intellectual debate. The internationalization of media studies implies not only the inclusion of geographically diverse experiences of media use, but also the exploration of alternative frameworks from our intricate global landscape for understanding notions of the self, collective imaginaries, and rethinking mainstream discourses and conceptual constructions of communicative phenomena
