Zusammenfassung

[ENG]This article addresses the way the media globalization is challenging the national communication spaces, and therefore some of the most important resources that states have used while attempting to build the nation. Cultural spaces, public spheres and shared identities, all on a national basis, they seem to be overcome by the access and use of media beyond the state borders. This makes the debate on multicultural societies, and on the ways to manage this diversity ,to be more relevant than ever. We should not forget, however, that media globalization has not erased the previous trends of cultural hegemony by some actors and models on a global level; it simply has become that quite more complex.
