Neo-Colonialism in Media: A Transition from Gundert to Murdoch
Keywords:
Neo-colonialism, Print capitalism, Technological determinism, GlobalisationAbstract
The current study has explored the growth of media through various technologies and its appropriation by capital forces. It attempted to locate historical pivots in theory building for such manifestations. Also the paper looked at the emergence of internet enabled convergent media as a new space of information colonisation and its ramifications. The essential argument put forth here is that there is historical continuity to the capitalist forces' colonization of the knowledge supplied through the media.
