The text is very well written, especially the way you cite your sources, the logic etc.

Be careful to raise some important point at the end. You have actually two topics - one is media (which, being globalized, bring more risks than only homogenization - e.g. they stress importance of relatively not important messages while at the same moment "virtualize" real risks like wars and serious accidents - you can watch them while having dinner). The other theme is homogenization which could be caused by other features - market, tourism etc. Try to find real links between your selected topics and you may mention also these other factors.

You might mention cultural specifics of media - or are they neutral? Is not their objectivity one of the reason of homogenization?
