1. What kind of media are increasingly global in terms of production and distribution?

I think from doing little research, that films and television programmes such as 'The weakest Link' are distributed all over the world. Australia was the first country to adapt the BBC show, and versions have also been produced in Azerbaijan, Belgium, Chile, China, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Lebanon, Macedonia, Mexico, The Netherlands, Norway, Panama, The Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Singapore, Slovenia, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, and the United States. The Link franchise is the second most popular international franchise, behind only the 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?' franchise, which also originated in the United Kingdom.
