The launch of the international news outlet CNN in 1985 brought about new forms of global political communication, which have reshaped international political communication. CNN's effect on globalizing "news" is often associated with McLuhan's metaphor of the "Global Village". However, with the "Global News Machine", CNN has constituted a new global public sphere, a new idea of "globalization", which problematizes McLuhan's vision.
