Academic imperialism meets media imperialism: the case of Abraji in Brazil

Abstract

This article examines intellectual and media imperialism as complementary dimensions of cultural imperialism. While previous studies have addressed these concepts separately, this study argues that the United States’ dominant role in the international academic sphere allows it to influence media professionals in other countries, reinforcing media imperialism through a local workforce.
