Paper Summary:
This paper discusses the undeniable influence of American productions on Australian television. The discussion includes a look at American influence on the pay TV sector, in terms of ownership, channels and content, and on free-to-air television in terms of drama, news and current affairs, documentary production and popular American sorts such as situation comedy and soap opera.From the Paper:
"The homogenisation of cultures is impossible as well. As Appadurai states, "people, machines, money, images, and ideas follow increasingly non-isomorphic paths" in the construction of contemporary global cultures . International success of Australian dramas Neighbours and Home and Away can be given example to this unpredictable exchange of cultural goods. American influence can not be denied, as it will be argued throughout the essay, but globalisation is not a one way process and injection of American cultural values into other countries."Sample of Sources Used:

Sep 15, 2003 I studied Media and Cultural Studies, have a GPA of 3.5 (over 4), also got published in respected journals, newspapers (in Australia and overseas). All of my essays posted on this site were graded distinction and high distinction at university. I can also speak 3 other languages fluently, and having English as a second language is not a barrier, besides, since I studied it deeply and scrutinized its grammar and rules, it's become an advantage not being a native speaker in academic terms.
