Abstract: The Concentration of capital and application of new technologies lay a foundation for global communication. The paper analyses the impacts of global communication on the local culture. Global communication has brought about new media forms and it changes the traditional concept of time-space and geography. The significance of a local culture lies in its distinction and uniqueness. Culture is relatively stable and it changes and develops in a dynamic process in a global communication era. Cultural inclusiveness and openness contribute to its development and vitality in the global-local nexus. The interaction between culture and communication inevitably brings about cultural changes, offers more opportunities to get access to other culture. Confronted with the common global issues, more people with diverse cultural backgrounds increasingly realize the significance of cooperation and coordination. In a community with a shared future for mankind, there is an emerging trend of the coexistence of cultural diversity and convergence on the basis of understanding and selection. Keywords: global communication; culture; cultural diversity; cultural convergence.
