Internet is not only the inevitable result of globalization or information globalization, but also a powerful driving force to promote this process. It is a high-efficiency, large-capacity and extremely open communication medium with the high-speed information channel of ground-air integration as the transmission channel and the increasingly popular multimedia computer as the transceiver tool. Once news information enters the network, it will ignore the existence of national boundaries, anyone can watch or read freely, and the possibility of administrative control or intervention will become less and less.
"Globalization" is a concept that can be discussed from many angles, and its connotation is very rich. Anthony giddens, a theoretical sociologist at Stanford University in the United States, pointed out that the so-called globalization means that "what happens in a certain place is restricted and influenced by what happens in the distance, or conversely, what happens in a certain place has a pointing significance to what happens in the distance; In this way, remote areas will be connected with each other and this relationship will be strengthened all over the world. This definition describes the running state of globalization and reveals that globalization is the proper meaning and inevitable result of the development of human society.
Looking at the historical evolution of globalization, we can see that information globalization is based on the following factors, namely, the influencing factors of information globalization:
1, elimination of communication barriers and free flow of information;
2. Cross-regional and transnational operation of media;
3. Highly modern means of communication;
4. The weakening of information control by the government.
