There is an effect on regional culture because of the visibility to foreign media like films, TV and magazines and In my point of view, these impacts are much beneficial as they can override the drawbacks.
To begin with, displaying the local culture on international media have a lots of advanatges which can enrich the culture more in future. Showing the culture of a particular community around the world with the help of media will gain more respect and interest for that particular culture. For example, advertising in films or magazines about the “Nakshi-Katha”, a Bangladeshi heritage, will attract more people from many countries all over the world and people will be interested on collecting this product. Moreover, this extra attention from foreign media will encourage other people for preserving this culture for the upcoming days.
However, publicity in media can have a lot of disadvantages which can hamper both culture and society. Leaking about a particular culture of a society will create coflicts between the foreign people and local people. For instance, some local people might not be interested in exhibiting their own culture as they have an immense respect of their culture but this could lead to a conflict with other people because they want to explore the culture and markrting it by introducing it to the foriegn media as they want to make profit. Additionally, this conflict may lead to the distruction of the origin of the culture and disrupt the social order eventually.
In conclusion, for the exposure of international media, there are many advantages and disadvantages of the impacts on the local culture and I think that the affects of these benefits can prevail over disadvantages.
