Ania Loomba has commented on the ‘links between the recasting of third world cultures and the spread of consumer capitalism’ drawn by newspapers like The New York Times. Referring to its coverage of the new, ‘liberalized’ India, she points out how the flood of Western commodities and their appeal in Third World markets is projected as ‘a giant step towards a more democratic globe’.
