Globalization, the compression of the world and the intensification of consciousness of the world as a whole, has become one of the defining features of the contemporary world and is, no doubt, undergoing tremendous social, economic, cultural and technological transformation. Moreover, relations between states/nations are being redefined and restructured in the globalization process through the instrument of mass media. Globalization is running wild today via the channel of mass media; the mass media have greatly accelerated the pace of globalization. The inventions of information and communication technologies (ICTs) have greatly accelerated the process of globalization in recent decades; which are latest for the promotion of socio-cultural, political and economic globalization. The media is perhaps the most vital agent of globalization in the modern world. As such no one can deny the fact that, the issue of information and communication is a purveyor of modern globalization as free and responsible mass media is necessary for globalization development particularly in countries where development has not taken deep root. The mass media as an agent of mass communication rose and developed to the present stage in the industrialized and developed countries. The mass media, as the sounding rods of information, are on the very sharp cutting edge of modern globalization and civilization. As part of a larger platform of globalization process, mass media contribute to this experience and thus represents a key component in this transformation of the world, both as cause and outcome. In light of this, the purpose of this paper is to unveil and analyze the nexus between mass media and globalization
