Globalisation...

I would consider the media that i consume as very global. Most of the music i listen to is Reggae, coming from the Caribbean, most of the television media i consume, shows such as Prison Break, My Wife and Kids and Lost are from the USA, however i also consume British television media like Hollyoaks. The internet sites i visit are generally British as regularly visit the BBC website, however i am a frequent user of Youtube which trully is a globalised media text.
