I'm researching the impact of streaming platforms on local film and music industries for my media studies thesis, specifically how the dominance of global content affects cultural production and consumption in non-English speaking markets. While access has increased, I'm concerned about the homogenization of narratives and the economic viability for creators working outside mainstream genres. For others examining cultural globalization, what are the most significant studies or case examples showing how local industries are adapting, resisting, or finding niche audiences in this new digital landscape dominated by a few major platforms?
