Mediascape definition
The term "mediascape" describes the way that
visual imagery now impacts on our world. These
signals include books, magazines, television,
cinema and above all advertising which can
impact directly on the landscape (in the form of
posters and billboards) and also subtly
influence theway that we perceive reality through
persuasive techniques and an increasingly
pervasive presence. The word mediascape is also
used to describe visual culture. For example "the
American mediascape is becoming increasingly
partisan" or simply to denote 'what's on' as in
"a quick survey of the British mediascape shows
how much Channel 4 has lost its way". NB this
advances to an interpretation of the effect of
the media as Part of the definition. NZ
