  • Baltruschat-MIA
    Doris Baltruschat THE NEW MEDIA GEOGRAPHY OF GLOBAL AND LOCAL PRODUCTION NETWORKS Abstract This article highlights the networked collaborations, across non-traditional lines, between producers, broadcasters, digital content developers and telecommunications providers for the development of content across multiple platforms. Through using global production technologies such as co-production and formatting, they are able to localise program narratives with the participation of audiences, online communities, and media events — all of which increase the value of the overall program package for the international market. Global film and television programs are based on production ecologies that interconnect vast networks of producers, broadcasters and digital content developers. These partnerships include collaborations on multi-platform media to stem the growing ‘audience coup’ emanating from file-sharing sites and to exploit social networking aspects that surround popular television programs. In particular, professional media producers take advantage of the reciprocal relationship between actual and virtual communities that coalesce around television shows in the form of real live media events, program participation, public display, online chat rooms and blogs. While these immersive environments extend a global media product’s reach into specific local contexts, they also provide the blueprint for its successful adaptation in different markets around the world. This article explores the intersection between professional media practices and active public engagement with television programs: the dichotomy of media localisation and globalisation is at the core of the investigation. Public involvement in television programs runs the gamut of attending open auditions and participating in television programs to creating a plethora of user-generated content. These activities add value to programs because locally acquired expertise becomes part of a production matrix that is reapplied to the development of new media products.
