Abstract :
It has been almost impossible to avoid encountering and communicating with “other” in the recent world that is called global village and within it everybody, regardless of nation, language, religion, is connecting with each other easily and intensely through various communication channels especially digital media. As a result of this intensive communication, differences among people living in different regions of the world has been decreasing, societies and cultures has been resembling each other greatly and this condition is even being perceived as a threat to the nation states and indigenous cultures. Changing and altering media and the internet that is penetrating almost every part of oursocial life are locomotive of globalization as well. As recent turbulent social events are examined , this role of media can be seen clearly. For example, it is seen that from the bottom to the top, individuals from every level of the society express their demands for democracy and human rights and their reactions against anti-democratic implementations through media, especially digital media in a global extent. Furthermore, new generations do not socialize only in a family environment, but also in a cyber place -called social media- within interactions with people of a world where global communications take place. Therefore, the role of the media in the intercultural communication has a great importance that can not be ignored. In this study, it is focused on the intercultural communication under the effect of globalization and in this context the role of changing media.
