| Abstract: | This chapter examines the integral role played by US State Department embassies in serving American media imperialism around the world. Through a close analysis of emails hosted by WikiLeaks and released as part of a 2014 hack of Sony Pictures, the chapter demonstrates a mutually beneficial relationship between the network of global US embassies and global Hollywood, arguing that this connection provides substantial evidence for a continuance of US media imperialism in the twenty-first century. |
