GLOBAL MEDIA ESSAY

Document Content and Description Below

A successful social media platform should operate at global and local levels simultaneously. Multiple social media sites such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, WeChat, Line, Path and Pinterest have imp... lemented various strategies to target global and local audiences concurrently. The paper will discuss the significance of achieving this objective. Secondly, the relationship of global media with the concepts of globalization, cosmopolitanism, and the cultural schema theory will be assessed. Finally, the contexts of global and local social media trends will be discussed to create a better understanding of the subject, using examples of real-life occurrences in society.
