The Global Media Giants

10 Monday May 2010

By Robert McChesney

A specter now haunts the world: a global commercial media system dominated by a small number of superpowerful, mostly U.S.-based transnational media corporations. It is a system that works to advance the cause of the global market and promote commercial values, while denigrating journalism and culture not conducive to the immediate bottom line or long-run corporate interests. It is a disaster for anything but the most superficial notion of democracy–a democracy where, to paraphrase John Jay’s maxim, those who own the world ought to govern it.

The global commercial system is a very recent development. Until the 1980s, media systems were generally national in scope. While there have been imports of books, films, music and TV shows for decades, the basic broadcasting systems and newspaper industries were domestically owned and regulated. Beginning in the 1980s, pressure from the IMF, World Bank and U.S. government to deregulate and privatize media and communication systems coincided with new satellite and digital technologies, resulting in the rise of transnational media giants.

How quickly has the global media system emerged? The two largest media firms in the world, Time Warner and Disney, generated around 15 percent of their income outside of the United States in 1990. By 1997, that figure was in the 30 percent-35 percent range. Both firms expect to do a majority of their business abroad at some point in the next decade.

Kisah: Gantung diri karena gagal UN

UN SMP

Sebuah kisah sedih mengiringi berita pengumuman kelulusan Ujian Nasional SMP. Antara menurunkan berita sbb:

Diduga stres karena tidak lulus Ujian Nasional (UN), Adek (14), siswa kelas 3 Sekolah Menengah Pertama (SMP), warga Kelurahan Bumi Ayu, Kecamatan Dumai Barat, Kota Dumai, Provinsi Riau, nekad gantung diri.Desi (43), ibu dari siswa malang itu saat ditemui ANTARA, Jumat, mengatakan, kondisi anaknya terlihat lemas terbelit seutas tali yang tergantung di dekat pintu kamar pada Jumat pagi, sekitar pukul 09.00 WIB. Kondisi Adek seperti yang dijelaskan Desi sudah pucat dengan mata tertutup dan lidah yang menjulur. Beruntung pada saat diturunkan, Adek masih dalam kondisi bernafas sehingga dapat selamat dari tindakan percobaan bunuh diri yang dilakukannya.

Kisah sedih di tengah kegembiraan dan nafas lega anak-anak dan orang tua mereka setelah dinyatakan lulus. Sebenarnya dia bukan lah satu-satunya yang tertunda kelulusannya. Sekitar 350 ribu orang dari 3,6 juta siswa perlu bekerja keras kedua kalinya untuk menembus kelulusan.Bahkan seperti dimuat di Kompas terdapat 561 sekolah lulus nol persen !Sebuah fenomena yang menyesakkan. Harapan saya semoga para orang tua dan guru tidak disalahkan karena tertundanya kelulusan ini. Cukuplah dihadapi dengan tenang dan sabar, siapa tahu dari anak-anak yang tidak lulus langsung ini akan terdapat tokoh-tokoh yang penting di masa depan.Pesannya adalah tetaplah bersemangat. Jangan putus atas. Kegagalan adalah sukse yang tertunda, kata pepatah. Dengan mengulang malah akan memiliki kekuatan yang lebih besar dalam mendalami subjek ilmunya.
