6 The idea of “de-Westernization” has emerged in the study of international communication. Which of the
following statements about de-Westernization is NOT correct?
(A) Global media events such as the Olympics, the World Cup, and the Academy Award testify that media globalization rings true, and the claim of de-Westernization is only a fake issue.
(B) Most mainstream media studies focus on Western media. Many media issues in the Global South cannot be properly accounted for by existing Western theories, thus bringing greater importance to the de- Westernization of media research.
(C) De-Westernization theses emphasize the need to break the United States-centered mindset. The reason is that the United States dominates international communication issues due to its strong position in international politics and culture.
(D) To de-Westernize and at the same time communicate with the international community, it is necessary to build “case knowledge” rooted in local societies or cultures.
