ABSTRACT
Globalization involves interpenetration between the global and the local. Thus, the notion of glocality serves as a relevant construct for theorizing globalized phenomena. Among others, these include the rise of globalized networked technologies and consequent emergence of transnational public spheres, as well as attendant transformations in journalistic practice within global, local, and glocal news spheres. Versus the cross-national contexts of global comparative inquiry, glocal-comparative research redirects the analytical strengths of comparative analyses to one spatial locality allowing transnational nuances to become more noticeable than they would be if approached from the more expansive and variable contexts of a cross-national perspective.
