Social media terraforming media landscape

Abstract

The 21st century is defined by technological advances made by modern civilization. As every aspect of life is changing in the presence of cutting edge technology, the media landscape of the world and Bangladesh is simultaneously going through a period of change and transition. We can observe a growing association between socio political movement and internet technology to such an extent that I have argued that the media landscape is going through a process of terraforming both globally and locally. By analyzing both global and local socio political movements, legal infrastructure, industrial infrastructure and responses from different stakeholders like journalists and regular citizens, I have tried to identify the key players of this process and its distinct features.
