Herbert Marshall McLuhan, lebih dikenal sebagai Marshall McLuhan (21 Juli 1911 – 31 Desember 1980) adalah seorang ilmuwan komunikasi dan kritikus asal Edmonton, Kanada. Ia populer karena konsepnya tentang desa global (global village), teori medium adalah pesan (medium is the message) dan prediksinya tentang World Wide Web, 30 tahun sebelum hal tersebut ditemukan.

Pemikiran Marshall McLuhan

Desa global

McLuhan menggunakan istilah ini dalam bukunya yang berjudul The Guttenberg Galaxy: The Making of Typographic Man pada tahun 1962 dan dalam buku Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man pada tahun 1964. Istilah ini ia gunakan untuk menggambarkan bagaimana teknologi komunikasi elektronik mengecilkan bumi menjadi sebuah desa melalui informasi yang instan dan tersedia di mana saja serta kapan saja. Saat ini orang mengacu pada sebuah desa global ketika mereka menggambarkan efek dari World Wide Web.

Medium adalah pesan

McLuhan menyatakan bahwa media tidak hanya mempengaruhi masyarakat dari konten yang disampaikan melalui media, tetapi juga oleh karakteristik media itu sendiri.

Media panas dan media dingin (hot and cool media)

Media dingin membutuhkan keterlibatan konsumen yang tinggi. Surat kabar, majalah, buku, permainan video, dan internet termasuk dalam media dingin karena khalayak bersifat lebih aktif. Sementara itu, dalam media panas keterlibatan konsumen rendah. Radio, televisi dan film merupakan contoh dari media panas karena khalayak bersifat pasif.
