Culture of Media and Cultural Policy: A Comparative Analysis of the Developed and Less-developed Nations

This paper is an attempt to compare the culture of media with media policy in the context of the developed and less-developed societies. Because mass media, particularly TV carry the responsibility of providing their audience with entertaining and training materials for the society they have been considered as important means of socialization. However, because of their cultural policies, which tend to diffuse mediocre culture while benefiting from wide range of audiences, they have been criticized. Accordingly, this paper examines the dominant cultural policies of media as well as provides a description of visual perspectives of culture of media based on a qualitative and comparative analysis.
