Special Issue Editors’ Introduction: Television in the Global South

Abstract

Despite being considered old media, television is still one of the most powerful media forms. With the rise of digital platforms and streaming services, television continues to play a central role in globalization, dissemination of information, and entertainment. These new developments have helped television acquire a new significance by enabling a wider consumption of TV content through the Internet and other digital technologies all over the world. While this new media environment has contributed to an increase in television production worldwide, it has also led the way for a number of players in the Global South to become visible outside of their national contexts. The TV products originating from the Global South, which have reached millions of viewers, have challenged the global monopoly of the West (Thussu, 2024).
