    The document discusses the history and evolution of global media flows. It begins by defining international communication and outlining the origins of studying it during the Cold War era when there was a bipolar competition between Western liberal and Eastern communist ideologies. It then describes the old dependency approach where the UK was the center and former colonies were peripherals. Next, it outlines new approaches considering the rise of the internet and information becoming a key part of society. Finally, it notes debates around concepts like globalization, the reversal of some media flows, and the role of new technologies in international communication.
