Netflix and Amazon Prime have massive reach over international audiences, despite their varied location-specific libraries. In terms of reaching a large audience or consumer base, these instances fit historical definitions of mass media. However, studying
these phenomena require conjunctural and complex analyses of mass media that highlight both historical continuities and contemporary transformations of the concept through industrial, textual, and audience lenses.</span></p>

beginning with the widespread introduction of cable television in the United States in the 1970s through the present ever-expanding online media landscape—including app-based, algorithm-driven personalization of content—have resulted in the segmentation of
audiences, media industries, and content across gendered, racial, ethnic, sexual, generational, and cultural lines. However, within segmented audiences, networks of users, and local spaces, there are instances of broadly disseminated and collectively shared
mediated experiences. For example, </span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">we have seen mass media phenomena
occur within specific digital publics, social cohorts, other groups, and spaces such as Black Twitter and Gay Twitter, BookTok, or local news telecasts. Beyond the recognition of internal heterogeneity of the mass and the fragmentation of audiences, global
