Murdoch's media empire is global and mighty, but it isn't eternal

Article Abstract:

The influence of press barons like Rupert Murdoch is likely to decline in the 21st century under the influence of globalization. Books and films are already crossing national and language boundaries, and there are also indications of elements of internationalization in television broadcasting. It is likely to become more common for media groups to attempt to create intellectual property that can be sold internationally and to gain worldwide distribution channels for these products. The 21st century will see the emergence of around six alliances of media groups which will compete to establish worldwide distribution.

Unleashing the digital divide

Article Abstract:

Digital television is set to have a very significant impact on the television industry and on how society uses television. Traditionally, television has merely occupied people's time, but now it is set to save them time too, as they will be able to use their television to gain access to services such as home shopping. Digital television will offer much better picture quality, thus becoming a much better form of entertainment. Furthermore, the availability of a very large number of channels will change television from a producer-driven culture to a consumer-driven one.
