global communication

Cross-border information exchange

Global communication is the exchange of information across national and cultural boundaries.

The term encompasses everything from international phone calls and satellite broadcasts to social media connecting users worldwide.

Global communication has transformed how businesses operate.

The concept often implies both the technology enabling such exchange and the cultural implications of an interconnected world.
