Media Ownership, Global Communication, and BRICS

Media Ownership and Control

  • Examples of media companies:

    • Samsung

    • Sony

    • Referencing these companies can support points about media ownership.

  • Controlling media equates to controlling three sectors (unspecified in detail but implied to be significant).

Sectors and Global Communication

  • The theory of sectors:

    • Unpack the theory, explaining what the sector is.

    • Explain how it relates to global communication.

    • Explain how BRICS aligns itself to the three sectors.

    • There is an overlap between the discussion of media ownership and these sectors.

BRICS and Balanced Information Flow

  • BRICS aims for a balanced flow of information:

    • Non-biased.

    • Non-stereotypical.

    • Absence of a single dominant narrative.

  • Ideally, aims to break existing parameters for equal information access.

Ideal vs. Reality in Global Communication

  • BRICS and the three sectors:

    • Ideal scenario: everyone has their infrastructure, service center, and content creation.

    • Reality: not everyone is equal; the ideal is not plausible.
      *Illustration of a marine ecosystem:

    • Used as a metaphor to illustrate the existing inequalities.

Efforts to Narrow the Gap

  • BRICS and the McBride Roundtable:

    • Efforts to narrow the gap to ensure equality and equal information flow.

    • Despite efforts, complete equality is unlikely due to inherent power and economic differences.
