Week 3 My Global media Empire



 My global media empire will shift the main platform from traditional medium, such as newspaper to computer (internet), and further to the smartphone market. I think the smartphone will replace computer to be the main device people use to access to the information. However, the old media will be keep and transform to new way, such as transforming the paper newspaper into digital newspaper in smartphone device. ‘Each media sector operates according to specific conditions, traditions, practices and rules – true even for media operation within a transnational conglomerate’ (Steven, 2003). This is the reason that the traditional media should not be lost.

Compare to monopoly in one market (country), my global empire will not dominant in any single country. Monopolising one media market need huge funds and resource, when necessarily, a great deal of time and money are spent in blocking other from entering market (Steven, 2003). Moreover, I believed that the global market as a main stage is more likely to earn great money and opportunities. Disney Corporation is a great successful example of world dominant media. Their influence over children’s media and culture cover from west to east. Investing huge amount of money in one place, along with the potential of losing the competitiveness wouldn’t be my strategy to my global media empire.
