Global Politics and Media and Communication
The role of the media and the different channels of communication is very important in making global politics the most important means to solve global problems like pollution, povery, nuclear proliferation, population explosion etc. Even if the media and the channels of communication make mistakes in their assessment, they still inform the citizens of the world about the global problems and the solutions offered. The citizens of the world have to be critical in assessing the information they get from the media and the channels of communication and use their filters. the end result is better than the media and the channels of communication provide only "CORRECT and TRUE" information or only information that comes from a centralized body.

unfortunately, in most countries the media has become 'centralized' as it is in the hands of a few media moguls.
In my opinion, there is no question of the "importance" of the media as it is here and everywhere. It provides us tools to fight pollution as much as it provides us tools to carry out terror acts. It can be used for humanitarian purposes as much as it can be used for terrorism.
like any technology, it all depends in the handsof whom the technology or the means are - the terrorists or the pacifists, yet the world is better off if media is free and is everywhere and we may use our critical ability and our filters in order to get the information we are interested in
