In the three decades since the rise of the global internet, digitalization has transformed how media are made, circulated, and consumed - reshaping culture on a planetary scale. Yet the story of global media is not one of seamless connection or cultural homogenization. Planet Digital challenges the myth of a "global village," revealing instead how regional histories, infrastructures, economies, and power relations shape the uneven terrains of our digital world. Edited by the series editors of Critical Cultural Communication, this field-defining anthology gathers leading scholars to examine the texts, genres, platforms, and industries that define today's global entertainment landscape. From TikTok to Squid Game, K-Pop to Marvel, Bluey to Nollywood, each chapter offers a focused case study that illuminates how digital media both reflect and remake global cultural life. Spanning influencer culture, streaming platforms, esports, and beyond, Planet Digital shows how digital technologies and global media flows continually reshape one another - producing hybrid forms of creativity, circulation, and control. Together, these essays provide a vital framework for understanding how the world's screens, sounds, and networks are rewriting the relationship between culture and power in the twenty-first century.
