                                 PROXY STATEMENT

     This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of
proxies by the Board of Directors of The Gabelli Global Multimedia Trust Inc.
(the "Fund") for use at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Fund to be
held on Monday, May 18, 2009, at 10:30 a.m., at The Cole Auditorium, The

The Proxy Statement is also available on the Internet at www.proxyvote.com.

     In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail, officers of the Fund
and officers and regular employees of Computershare Trust Company, N.A.
("Computershare"), the Fund's transfer agent, and affiliates of Computershare or
other representatives of the Fund may also solicit proxies by telephone,
telegraph, Internet, or in person. In addition, the Fund has retained Broadridge
to assist in the solicitation of proxies for an estimated fee of $1,000 plus
reimbursement of expenses. The Fund will pay the costs of the proxy solicitation
and the expenses incurred in connection with preparing the Proxy Statement and
its enclosures. The Fund will also reimburse brokerage firms and others for
their expenses in forwarding solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of
its shares.

     THE FUND'S MOST RECENT ANNUAL REPORT, INCLUDING AUDITED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008, IS AVAILABLE UPON
REQUEST, WITHOUT CHARGE, BY WRITING TO THE SECRETARY OF THE FUND AT ONE
CORPORATE CENTER, RYE, NEW YORK 10580-1422, BY CALLING THE FUND AT 800-422-3554,
OR VIA THE INTERNET AT WWW.GABELLI.COM.

     If the enclosed proxy is properly executed and returned in time to be voted
at the Meeting, the Shares (as defined below) represented thereby will be voted
"FOR" the election of the nominees as Directors as described in this Proxy
Statement, unless instructions to the contrary are marked thereon, and at the
discretion of the proxy holders as to the transaction of any other business that
may properly come before the Meeting. Any shareholder who has given a proxy has
the right to revoke it at any time prior to its exercise either by attending the
Meeting and voting his or her shares in person or by submitting a letter of
revocation or a later-dated proxy to the Fund at the above address prior to the
date of the Meeting.

     A quorum of shareholders is constituted by the presence in person or by
proxy of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund
entitled to vote at the Meeting. In the event a quorum is not present at the
Meeting, or in the event that a quorum is present at the Meeting but sufficient
votes to approve any of the proposed items are not received, the persons named
as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of such Meeting to permit
further solicitation of proxies. A shareholder vote may be taken on one or more
of the proposals in this Proxy Statement prior to such adjournment if sufficient
votes have been received for approval and it is otherwise appropriate. Any such
adjournment will require the affirmative vote of a majority of those shares
present at the Meeting in person or by proxy. If a quorum is present, the
persons named as proxies will vote those proxies which they are entitled to vote
"FOR" any proposal in favor of such adjournment and will vote those proxies
required to be voted "AGAINST" any proposal against such adjournment. Absent the
establishment of a subsequent record date and the giving of notice to the
holders of record thereon, the adjourned Meeting must take place not more than
120 days after the record date. At such adjourned Meeting, any business may be
transacted which might have been transacted at the original Meeting. If a quorum
is present, a shareholder vote may be taken on one or more of the proposals
properly brought before the Meeting prior to any adjournment if sufficient votes
have been received and it is otherwise appropriate.

NOMINEES FOR THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

     The Board of Directors is divided into three classes, each class having a
term of three years. Each year the term of office of one class will expire.
James P. Conn and Anthony R. Pustorino have each been nominated by the Board of
Directors for a three-year term to expire at the Fund's 2012 Annual Meeting of
Shareholders or until their successors are duly elected and qualified. James P.
Conn has been nominated by the Board of Directors for election by the holders of
the Fund's Preferred Stock for a three-year term to expire at the Fund's 2012
Annual Meeting of Shareholders or until his successor is duly elected and
qualified. Each of the Directors of the Fund has served in that capacity since
the April 6, 1994 organizational meeting of the Fund with the exception of (i)
Mr. Fahrenkopf, who became a Director of the Fund on August 18, 1999, (ii) Dr.
Roeder, who became a Director of the Fund on November 17, 1999, and (iii) Mr.
Colavita, who became a Director of the Fund on August 15, 2001. All of the
Directors of the Fund are also directors or trustees of other investment
companies for which Gabelli Funds, LLC (the "Adviser") or its affiliates serve
as investment adviser. The classes of Directors are indicated below:

     Under the Fund's Articles of Incorporation, Articles Supplementary, and the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), holders of the
Fund's outstanding Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, are entitled to
elect two Directors, and holders of the Fund's outstanding Common Stock and
Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, are entitled to elect the
remaining Directors, subject to the provisions of the 1940 Act and the Fund's
Articles of Incorporation, Articles Supplementary, and By-Laws. The holders of
the Fund's outstanding Preferred Stock would be entitled to elect the minimum
number of additional Directors that would represent a majority of the Directors
in the event that dividends on the Fund's Preferred Stock are in arrears for two
full years. No dividend arrearages exist as of the date of this Proxy Statement.
Messrs. Colavita and Conn are currently the Directors elected solely by the
holders of the Fund's Preferred Stock. A quorum of the Preferred Stockholders
must be present in person or by proxy at the Meeting in order for the proposal
to elect Mr. Conn to be considered.

     Unless authority is withheld, it is the intention of the persons named in
the proxy to vote the proxy "FOR" the election of the nominees named above. Each
nominee has indicated that he has consented to serve as a Director if elected at
the Meeting. If a designated nominee declines or otherwise becomes unavailable
for election, however, the proxy confers discretionary power on the persons
named therein to vote in favor of a substitute nominee or nominees.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

     The role of the Fund's Audit Committee (the "Audit Committee") is to assist
the Board of Directors in its oversight of (i) the quality and integrity of the
Fund's financial statement reporting process and the independent audit and
reviews thereof; (ii) the Fund's accounting and financial reporting policies and
practices, its internal controls, and, as appropriate, the internal controls of
certain of its service providers; (iii) the Fund's compliance with legal and
regulatory requirements; and (iv) the independent registered public accounting
firm's qualifications, independence, and performance. The Audit Committee also
is required to prepare an audit committee report pursuant to the rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") for inclusion in the Fund's
annual proxy statement. The Audit Committee operates pursuant to the Audit
Committee Charter (the "Audit Charter") that was most recently reviewed and
approved by the Board of Directors on February 26, 2009. The Audit Charter is
available on the Fund's website at www.gabelli.com.


                                       7



     Pursuant to the Audit Charter, the Audit Committee is responsible for
conferring with the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm,
reviewing annual financial statements, approving the selection of the Fund's
independent registered public accounting firm, and overseeing the Fund's
internal controls. The Audit Charter also contains provisions relating to the
pre-approval by the Audit Committee of certain non-audit services to be provided
by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PricewaterhouseCoopers") to the Fund and to the
Adviser and certain of its affiliates. The Audit Committee advises the full
Board with respect to accounting, auditing, and financial matters affecting the
Fund. As set forth in the Audit Charter, management is responsible for
maintaining appropriate systems for accounting and internal control, and the
Fund's independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for planning
and carrying out proper audits and reviews. The independent registered public
accounting firm is ultimately accountable to the Board of Directors and to the
Audit Committee, as representatives of shareholders. The independent registered
public accounting firm for the Fund reports directly to the Audit Committee.

     In performing its oversight function, at a meeting held on February 24,
2009, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with management of the Fund and
PricewaterhouseCoopers the audited financial statements of the Fund as of and
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, and discussed the audit of such
financial statements with the independent registered public accounting firm.

     In addition, the Audit Committee discussed with the independent registered
public accounting firm the accounting principles applied by the Fund and such
other matters brought to the attention of the Audit Committee by the independent
registered public accounting firm as required by Statement of Auditing Standards
No. 61, COMMUNICATIONS WITH AUDIT COMMITTEES, as currently modified or
supplemented. The Audit Committee also received from the independent registered
public accounting firm the written disclosures and statements required by the
SEC's independence rules, delineating relationships between the independent
registered public accounting firm and the Fund, and discussed the impact that
any such relationships might have on the objectivity and independence of the
independent registered public accounting firm.

     As set forth above, and as more fully set forth in the Charter, the Audit
Committee has significant duties and powers in its oversight role with respect
to the Fund's financial reporting procedures, internal control systems, and the
independent audit process.

     The members of the Audit Committee are not, and do not represent themselves
to be, professionally engaged in the practice of auditing or accounting and are
not employed by the Fund for accounting, financial management, or internal
control purposes. Moreover, the Audit Committee relies on and makes no
independent verification of the facts presented to it or representations made by
management or the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm.
Accordingly, the Audit Committee's oversight does not provide an independent
basis to determine that management has maintained appropriate accounting and/or
financial reporting principles and policies, or internal controls and
procedures, designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and
applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, the Audit Committee's
considerations and discussions referred to above do not provide assurance that
the audit of the Fund's financial statements has been carried out in accordance
with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States) or that the financial statements are presented in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles (United States).

     Based on its consideration of the audited financial statements and the
discussions referred to above with management and the Fund's independent
registered public accounting firm, and subject to the limitations on the
responsibilities and role of the Audit Committee set forth in the Audit Charter
and those discussed above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Fund's Board
of Directors that the Fund's audited financial statements be included in the
Fund's Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

     The Audit Committee met three times during the fiscal year ended December
31, 2008, one of which was a special meeting. The Audit Committee is composed of
three of the Fund's Independent Directors (as such term is defined by the New
York Stock Exchange's listing standards (the "NYSE Listing Standards")), namely
Messrs. Pustorino, Roeder, and Zizza. Each member of the Audit Committee has
been determined by the Board of Directors to be financially literate.

NOMINATING COMMITTEE

     The Board of Directors has a Nominating Committee composed of three
Independent Directors (as such term is defined by the NYSE Listing Standards),
namely Messrs. Colavita, Roeder, and Zizza. The Nominating Committee met once
during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. The Nominating Committee is
responsible for identifying and recommending to the Board of Directors
individuals believed to be qualified to become Board members in the event that a
position is vacated or created. The Nominating Committee will consider Director
candidates recommended by shareholders. In considering candidates submitted by
shareholders, the Nominating Committee will take into consideration the needs of
the Board of Directors, the qualifications of the candidate, and the interests
of shareholders. The Nominating Committee may also take into consideration the
number of shares held by the recommending shareholder and the length of time
that such shares have been held. To recommend a candidate for consideration by
the Nominating Committee, a shareholder must submit the recommendation in
writing and must include the following information:

     -    The name of the shareholder and evidence of the shareholder's
          ownership of shares of the Fund, including the number of shares owned
          and the length of time of ownership;

     -    The name of the candidate, the candidate's resume or a listing of his
          or her qualifications to be a Director of the Fund, and the person's
          consent to be named as a Director if selected by the Nominating
          Committee and nominated by the Board of Directors; and

     -    If requested by the Nominating Committee, a completed and signed
          director's questionnaire.

     The shareholder recommendation and information described above must be sent
to the Fund's Secretary, c/o Gabelli Funds, LLC at One Corporate Center, Rye, NY
10580-1422, and must be received by the Secretary no less than 120 days prior to
the anniversary date of the Fund's most recent annual meeting of shareholders
or, if the meeting has moved by more than 30 days, a reasonable amount of time
before the meeting.

     The Nominating Committee believes that the minimum qualifications for
serving as a Director of the Fund are that the individual demonstrate, by
significant accomplishment in his or her field, an ability to make a meaningful
contribution to the Board of Directors' oversight of the business and affairs of
the Fund and have an impeccable record and reputation for honest and ethical
conduct in both his or her professional and personal activities. In addition,
the Nominating Committee examines a candidate's specific experiences and skills,
time availability in light of other commitments, potential conflicts of
interest, and independence from management and the Fund. The Nominating
Committee also seeks to have the Board of Directors represent a diversity of

                             ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

     PricewaterhouseCoopers, 300 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10017, has been
selected to serve as the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm
for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. PricewaterhouseCoopers acted as
the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2008. The Fund knows of no direct financial or material
indirect financial interest of PricewaterhouseCoopers in the Fund. A
representative of PricewaterhouseCoopers will not be present at the Meeting, but
will be available by telephone and will have an opportunity to make a statement,
if asked, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

     Set forth in the table below are audit fees and non-audit related fees
billed to the Fund by PricewaterhouseCoopers for professional services received
during and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively.

       2008           $58,200        $9,212        $4,000         --


----------
*    "Audit-Related Fees" are those estimated fees billed to the Fund by
     PricewaterhouseCoopers in connection with the preparation of Preferred
     Shares Reports to Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and Fitch Ratings.

**   "Tax Fees" are those fees billed by PricewaterhouseCoopers in connection
     with tax compliance services, including primarily the review of the Fund's
     income tax returns.

     The Fund's Audit Charter requires that the Audit Committee pre-approve all
audit and non-audit services to be provided by the independent registered public
accounting firm to the Fund, and all non-audit services to be provided by the
independent registered public accounting firm to the Fund's Adviser and service
providers controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Fund's
Adviser ("affiliates") that provide on-going services to the Fund (a "Covered
Services Provider"), if the engagement relates directly to the operations and
financial reporting of the Fund. The Audit Committee may delegate its
responsibility to pre-approve any such audit and permissible non-audit services
to the Chairman of the Audit Committee, and the Chairman must report his
decision(s) to the Audit Committee, at its next regularly scheduled meeting
after the Chairman's pre-approval of such services. The Audit Committee may also
establish detailed pre-approval policies and procedures for pre-approval of such
services in accordance with applicable laws, including the delegation of some or
all of the Audit Committee's pre-approval responsibilities to other persons
(other than the Adviser or the Fund's officers). Pre-approval by the Audit
Committee of any permissible non-audit services is not required so long as: (i)
the aggregate amount of all such permissible non-audit services provided to the
Fund, the Adviser, and any Covered Services Provider constitutes not more than
5% of the total amount of revenues paid by the Fund to its independent
registered public accounting firm during the year in which the permissible
non-audit services are provided; (ii) the permissible non-audit services were
not recognized by the Fund at the time of the engagement to be non-audit
services; and (iii) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the
Audit Committee and approved by the Audit Committee or the Chairman prior to the
completion of the audit. All of the audit, audit-related, and tax services
described above for which PricewaterhouseCoopers billed the Fund fees for the
fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2008 were pre-approved by
the Audit Committee.


                                       11



     For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, PricewaterhouseCoopers has
represented to the Fund that it did not provide any non-audit services (or bill
any fees for such services) to the Adviser or any affiliates thereof that
provide services to the Fund.

THE INVESTMENT ADVISER AND ADMINISTRATOR

     Gabelli Funds, LLC is the Fund's Adviser and Administrator and its business
address is One Corporate Center, Rye, New York 10580-1422.

COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934

     Section 16(a) of the 1934 Act and Section 30(h) of the 1940 Act, and the
rules thereunder, require the Fund's executive officers and Directors, executive
officers and directors of the Adviser, certain other affiliated persons of the
Adviser, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Fund's
securities to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC
and the New York Stock Exchange and to furnish the Fund with copies of all
Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on the Fund's review of the copies
of such forms it received for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the Fund
believes that during that year such persons complied with all such applicable
filing requirements.

BROKER NON-VOTES AND ABSTENTIONS

     For purposes of determining the presence of a quorum for transacting
business at the Meeting, abstentions and broker "non-votes" (that is, proxies
from brokers or nominees indicating that such persons have not received
instructions from the beneficial owner or other persons entitled to vote shares
on a particular matter with respect to which the brokers or nominees do not have
discretionary power) will be treated as shares that are present but that have
not been voted. Accordingly, shareholders are urged to forward their voting
instructions promptly.

     The affirmative vote of a plurality of votes cast for each Nominee by the
shareholders entitled to vote for a particular Nominee is necessary for the
election of a Director. Abstentions or broker non-votes will not be counted as
votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote. Abstentions or
broker non-votes, however, will be considered to be present at the Meeting for
purposes of determining the existence of a quorum.

     Shareholders of the Fund will be informed of the voting results of the
Meeting in the Fund's Semi-Annual Report dated June 30, 2009.

                    OTHER MATTERS TO COME BEFORE THE MEETING

     The Directors of the Fund do not intend to present any other business at
the Meeting, nor are they aware that any shareholder intends to do so. If,
however, any other matters, including adjournments, are properly brought before
the Meeting, the persons named in the accompanying proxy will vote thereon in
accordance with their judgment.

                              SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS

     All proposals by shareholders of the Fund which are intended to be
presented at the Fund's next Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held in 2010
must be received by the Fund for consideration for inclusion in the Fund's proxy
statement and proxy relating to that meeting no later than December 7, 2009.
There are additional requirements regarding proposals of shareholders, and a
shareholder contemplating submission of a proposal is referred to Rule 14a-8
under the 1934 Act.
