There is a deepening symbiosis between capitalism and communication. 
Convergences across mass media, telecommunication and computer
technologies have opened up new sectors of production and profit
realisation.  These same technologies also shape the networks of
finance, production, symbolic representation and consumer culture.  For
scholars and policy makers such developments have generated concerns
about regulation, cultural expression, ideological obfuscation and
communication rights.  Meanwhile, evolving information and communication
technologies directly facilitate local-global activism against
prevailing relations of power.
