This collection investigates how emerging media technologies are situated, regulated, and experienced within specific geographic and cultural contexts. Editors Ben Aslinger and Germaine R. Halegoua curate a series of essays that challenge the notion of a placeless digital world, arguing instead that media development is deeply rooted in local policy, infrastructure, and social identity. By examining case studies from Turkey to Australia, the contributors provide a framework for understanding how global media flows interact with localized political and economic realities.
