In this volume, Paolo Sigismondi explores the dynamics of global media
and entertainment, specifically analyzing the implications of the
global rise of non-scripted entertainment (as reality TV programs) and
the impact and consequences of the Information and Communication
Technology (ICT) revolution on the content, delivery platforms, and
overall business models of the media and entertainment landscape. This
work aims at bridging the gap between media theories and industry
practices in a rapidly evolving global mediascape, building on
scholarship in the field and enriched by case studies and insights
from business practice. This work demonstrates that the paradigms of
the landscape are shifting, introducing the digital
“glocalization” of entertainment, through which successful media
crossing national and cultural borders incorporate both global and
local features. Key questions raised include: Is the ICT revolution an
example of disruptive technology for the global media and
entertainment industry? Is the existing status quo challenged, and in,
particular Hollywood’s global leadership? What are the global
entities emerging as Hollywood’s main competitors in this
technologically evolving landscape? Sigismondi argues that as new
players are entering the field, new threats to Hollywood’s dominance
are emerging. The global leaders in non-scripted entertainment, for
example, are European-based global entities operating outside the
Hollywood system. Meanwhile, the ICT revolution is modifying the
contours and boundaries of the global mediascape. Sigismondi’s
approach provides unique insight into how the forces of technology and
globalization are transforming television, cinema, and online
entertainment.
