This work aims at bridging the gap between media theories and industry practices in a rapidly evolving global mediascape, building on scholarship in the field and enriched by case studies and insights from business practice. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis work demonstrates that the paradigms of the landscape are shifting, introducing the digital “glocalization” of entertainment, through which successful media crossing national and cultural borders incorporate both global and local features.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey questions raised include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIs the ICT revolution an example of disruptive technology for the global media and entertainment industry? \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIs the existing \u003ci\u003estatus quo \u003c\/i\u003echallenged, and in, particular Hollywood’s global leadership? \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat are the global entities emerging as Hollywood’s main competitors in this technologically evolving landscape?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSigismondi argues that as new players are entering the field, new threats to Hollywood’s dominance are emerging. The global leaders in non-scripted entertainment, for example, are European-based global entities operating outside the Hollywood system. Meanwhile, the ICT revolution is modifying the contours and boundaries of the global mediascape. Sigismondi’s approach provides unique insight into how the forces of technology and globalization are transforming television,cinema, and online entertainment.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2011-08-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461409076\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4614-0908-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 138\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47667559563404,"sku":"9781461409076","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461409076.jpg?v=1776458324","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781461409076","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
