Geopolitics of Media: Between Control And Penetration
Abstract
This contribution aims to identify the role of globalized media in threatening societal and national security. It has witnessed several security challenges that have begun to affect various other dimensions, especially cultural and intellectual, leading to the production of intellectual and value-based deviation in society, which subsequently affects political decision-making. By means of the emergence of globalization, technological development and the emergence of new media, the borders between countries have faded and are penetrated by the media, such that neither governments nor countries are able to control and control this expansion, which has put national, economic and political security in a state of danger. Therefore, it has become necessary to search for ways to repel this type of control (indirect colonialism), by examining the media material, which the study has proven that globalized media negatively affects societal security and its values, if it is employed in a negative way.
Keywords: globalized media, geopolitics, national security, societal security, cultural security, cultural penetration and invasion
